The Other World. What Psychedelics Can Tell Us About Consciousness, Death, Passions, Depression, and Transcendence
The "Other World" is a unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel notes,
history, and medicine. Captivating and instructive, this tale explores an unexpected and new facet of understanding consciousness, identity, and our place in the world.
Michael Pollan delves into...
the rich history of psychedelic research, recounting the ups and downs of public interest in these psychoactive substances.
The true theme of Pollan's "psychedelic travelogue" is the intractable mystery of human consciousness and how, in a world that confronts us with suffering and pleasure, we can find meaning in our lives.
Pollan combines rational curiosity and skepticism, skillfully avoiding contentious debates while striving for clarity and understanding.
