#30 Five Things I Learned about Psychedelics (:micro)

While taking flight on a psychedelic journey, one clinical psychologist suggests, "Go wherever it takes you. Climb staircases, open doors, explore paths, fly over landscapes." It's one of many mantras for life that Michael Pollan offers in his book How to Change Your Mind. In this episode, I share five ways Pollan's book opened my mind about how to open my mind.

Krishnamurti once wrote, "It's no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Trends w/ Benefits is an exploration into what it means to be "mentally healthy" in a world that is anything but.

The Trends w/ Benefits Podcast has two formats—:microdose and :macrodose episodes.

:microdose episodes are short-form monologues with Sara Russell. Sara blends ancient wisdom, modern science and actionable advice on subjects like sleep, psychedelics and ritual. She also hosts short meditations designed to help you start and end your day. We call them :rise and :rest meditations.

:macrodose episodes are long-form interviews with Tw/B's Head of Editorial, Kyle Thiermann. Comprising deep conversations with athletes, intellectuals and everyone in between, each episode is anchored around mental health.
