The No. 1 New York Times bestseller, now a major new Netflix series, reminds us that the mind is the greatest mystery in the universe.

Yuval Noah Harari, Guardian, Books of the Year: "Could psychedelic drugs change our worldview? Join Michael Pollan on a journey to the frontiers of the human mind."

Diving deep into an extraordinary world - from shamans and magic mushroom hunts to the pioneering labs mapping our brains - and putting himself forward as a guinea pig, Michael Pollan has written a remarkable history of psychedelics and a compelling portrait of the new generation of scientists fascinated by the implications of these drugs.

How to Change Your Mind is a report from what could very well be the future of consciousness.

A sweeping and often thrilling chronicle of the history of psychedelics, all interwoven with Pollan's adventures as a psychedelic novice. This is a serious work of history and science, but also one in which the author, under the influence of toad venom, becomes convinced he's giving birth to himself.

Oliver Burkeman, Guardian: "A mind-altering book ... full of transformations."

Richard Godwin, Evening Standard: "An irresistible blend of history, research, and personal experience."

In terms of the psychedelic wave, the book is the big kahuna, the Big Bang moment for a movement that is gathering force.

John McKenna, Irish Times: "Entertaining and engrossing."

Paul Laity, Financial Times: "Deeply absorbing, wise, and beautifully written."

Mick Brown, Literary Review: "An astounding book."

Andrew Sullivan, New York Magazine: "An incredible book."
