How to Change Your Mind

Why I recommend it

I’m fascinated by psychology, and Pollan brings curiosity and careful reporting to psychedelics and consciousness. The book opens up questions about how people change.

What it changed in my thinking

It made me think about how our usual thought patterns shape what feels possible. Seeing an old story differently can open up choices.

Who it’s useful for

Readers curious about psychology, consciousness, and changes in perspective.

A tension or limitation

Compelling stories don’t mean an experience is right or safe for everyone. The book isn’t a guide to making personal treatment decisions.
