Various Retailers have How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan (eBook) for $1.99.

Thanks to Community Member phoinix for sharing this deal.

Available from:About this book:
  • When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research.
  • A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

This book changed my life. Cannot recommend it highly enough. This is what Big Pharma doesn't want you to know, because they'd rather you stay ill and buy pills daily to treat the symptoms, than see you cured.
This is a fascinating book. There is also a Netflix docuseries by the same name. Would highly recommend!
I thought about buying this book but then I changed my mind.

Thanks, felt guilty that I pirated this book in the past so now I have it officially! It was interesting to see his take on these experiences from a more clinical approach than typical. Hope that some day these tools become more widely talked about and accepted.

Book and Audiobook is free on Libby. Not a deal.
Libby catalog varies by library. Mine does have the audiobook, but not the eBook.

I get what you're saying. Some people toy around with the idea of buying this book, but every time they start to, they change their mind and then realize they didn't need it in the first place.
