L'ISPIRAZIONE PER LA NUOVA GRANDE SERIE DI NETFLIX, COME CAMBIARE IDEA ''È un viaggio: avvincente, illuminante, sconvolgente'' New Statesman ''Affascinante. Pollan è la guida perfetta. Curiosa, attenta, di mentalità aperta'' The Guardian Di tutte le tante cose per cui gli esseri umani fanno affidamento sulle piante, sicuramente la più curiosa è il loro utilizzo per cambiare la coscienza: per stimolare, calmare o alterare completamente le qualità della nostra esperienza mentale. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan esplora tre droghe molto diverse, oppio, caffeina e mescalina, e mette in risalto la stranezza fondamentale del nostro modo di pensare a loro. Esplorando e partecipando alle culture che sono cresciute attorno a queste droghe, mentre le consuma (o nel caso della caffeina, cercando di non consumarle), Pollan fa i conti con la potente attrazione umana per le piante psicoattive e con gli altrettanto potenti tabù. In un mix unico di storia, scienza, memorie e reportage, Pollan getta una nuova luce su un argomento che troppo spesso viene trattato in modo riduttivo. Nel farlo, dimostra che c'è molto di più da dire su queste piante che non un semplice dibattito sulla loro regolamentazione, perché quando le assumiamo nel nostro corpo e lasciamo che cambino la nostra mente, ci stiamo impegnando con la natura in uno dei modi più profondi che possiamo. Questo libro innovativo e singolare è uno specchio dei nostri bisogni e aspirazioni umani fondamentali, delle operazioni delle nostre menti e del nostro coinvolgimento con il mondo naturale.

Michael Pollan is an award-winning author, activist and journalist. His international bestselling books about the way we live today - including How to Change Your Mind, In Defence of Food and Food Rules - combine meticulous reporting with anthropology, philosophy, culture, health and natural history. Time magazine has named him one of the hundred most influential people in the world. He lives in the Bay Area of California with his wife.
Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos.
In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world.
