Publisher's Summary

  • A uniquely practical guide to a trending topic: Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind has sold 180k+ copies. Companies that are developing psychedelic treatments are shooting up in value. Psyched serves as a simple yet definitive guide to these trending treatments, explaining to a lay listener how they work and why.
  • Seven psychedelic substances are explored in-depth including MDMA, LSD, ketamine, ayahuasca, peyote, iboga and psilocybin.
  • Backed by extensive research: Siebert synthesizes pages and pages of clinical trials, interviews with medical professionals and health practitioners, patient testimonials, and stories from Indigenous peoples.
  • Engaging and easy-to-read: simple, short chapters give listeners everything they need to know about each treatment.
  • Depression, anxiety, trauma, and pain: are all explored as difficulties that can be aided by psychedelics.
