TheBigger Picture: How Psychedelics Can Help Us Make Sense of the World

Description

Do psychedelic drugs hold the answer to a better world? Can they heal the cultural, spiritual and emotional wounds we face? The Bigger Picture is an accessible, entertaining and nuanced trip into the world of psychedelics. We’re beginning to understand what psychedelics can do for our minds, but The Bigger Picture takes us a step further and explores what psychedelics can do to help us make sense of the world and the crises we face. Alexander Beiner has interviewed countless thought leaders, philosophers and scientists and in this dimension-shifting book examines:· how psychedelics work and how they can transform our perception · the role of psychedelics in addressing global issues such as the mental health crisis, environmental collapse and political polarisation · the dark side of the ‘psychedelic renaissance’ and ‘psychedelic capitalism’ · Alexander’s experiences as a participant in the world-first clinical trial at Imperial College, London investigating the powerful psychedelic DMTEmbark on a journey into The Bigger Picture – a new era of science and spirituality with the potential to radically transform society.
