About this listen
A revealing, courageous, fascinating, and funny account of the author's experiment with microdoses of LSD in an effort to treat a debilitating mood disorder, of her quest to understand a misunderstood drug, and of her search for a really good day.
When a small vial arrives in her mailbox from "Lewis Carroll", Ayelet Waldman is at a low point. Her mood storms have become intolerably severe; she has tried nearly every medication possible; her husband and children are suffering with her. So she opens the vial, places two drops on her tongue, and joins the ranks of an underground but increasingly vocal group of scientists and civilians successfully using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. As Waldman charts her experience over the course of a month - bursts of productivity, sleepless nights, a newfound sense of equanimity - she also explores the history and mythology of LSD, the cutting-edge research into the drug, and the byzantine policies that control it. Drawing on her experience as a federal public defender and as the mother of teenagers and her research into the therapeutic value of psychedelics, Waldman has produced a book that is eye-opening, often hilarious, and utterly enthralling.

Such a wonderful book.
I thoroughly enjoy listening to this audiobook spoken beautifully by the author herself.
Ayelet made me laugh out loud on many occasions and I could relate to her personality in many ways. The premise behind the book is A truely fascinating concept and something that seems to carry many positive outcomes.

not bad
wanted more psychedelic anecdotes etc. kind of enjoyed that it wasnt all psychedelic though, would be a great way to introduce somebody green to the idea of microdosing, particularly women.

Enjoyable Reading of Sometimes Heavy Subject
I'm really glad Ayelet read this herself. The subject matter goes between an objective evaluation of her 30 day microdosing experiment, her past and current life experience, stories and information from her interviews with experts on psychedelics and drug policy, and stories and information from her research on the history of drugs and drug policy.
It covers a lot of ground and sometimes heavy stuff. Ayelet reads it in a way I found entertaining and engaging.

Exceeded expectations
A great book filled with great life stories. You will laugh and cry. Most of all it’s considering what is the influence of a drug and what is a genuine lived experience.
