WHAT IS HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND REALLY ABOUT?

The docuseries is based on the book How to Change Your Mind: What the New
Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction,
Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan. It’s the number 1 New York
Times best-seller of the year 2018.

The book explores the complicated and extensive history of psychedelic drugs,
also known as hallucinogens. They involve chemicals like LSD, MDMA, and
mescaline. Pollan aims to shed light on both the inner workings of the human
mind and awareness. However, this book demolished some of the most lethal
stereotypes about psychedelics and made room for the possibility that they may
be used to treat everything from depression to PTSD.

After the huge success of this book, Netflix approached Pollan to create a
documentary on the book. He started working on it in 2021. The docuseries
includes testimonials of people whom these drugs helped. There are real-life
stories where these drugs were recommended to various patients to help them get
over mental health issues.

Let’s see what this series has further.
