Pollan’s real genius—the word is not too strong—remains intact ... Steals back for humanity some of the sensation of miraculousness that this era has largely outsourced to technology.
A captivating exploration, one that is highly personal and sensitive. Unlike with a book that simply reports the state of the consciousness field, we receive the story through the sharp mind of a writer and the questioning heart of a seeker ... Highly pleasurable to read.
A fascinating and fluent guide to what’s on our minds ... Mr. Pollan’s journey leads him to an emerging brew of physics, psychedelics, Zen meditation and idealist philosophy. It sounds a lot like California in the 1960s. Will the doors of perception ever be cleansed?
