Journey to the Gate of Consciousness. Michael Pollan

67 percent of people have quit smoking, 70 percent of patients with resistant PTSD have overcome this diagnosis, cancer patients have managed to get rid of the fear of death. This is not magic, but science and the results of the latest clinical studies of the effects of psychedelics: LSD, psilocybin and others.
Skeptical journalist Michael Pollan has conducted a serious investigation that intertwines history, neurobiology, psychotherapy and personal experience, destroying myths and stereotypes surrounding psychoactive substances. His book is your ticket to the laboratories of Harvard, Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, where a revolution in the treatment of depression, anxiety and addictions is taking place. From it you will learn about the key figures in the world of psychedelics, the invention and prohibition of these substances. It will not do without secret experiments of the CIA, as well as microdosing or ayahuasca.
Pollan's book has become a global bestseller and has been the subject of a Netflix documentary series. To miss it is to remain in an information vacuum while science changes the boundaries of what is permissible and the world opens up new horizons of consciousness.
