The unlikely story of how the psychedelic drug MDMA emerged from the shadows to the forefront of a medical revolution--and the potential it may hold to help us thrive.
What The Reviewers Say
Nuwer examines groundbreaking new research that demonstrates that MDMA (and to a lesser extent other psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD) may allow those suffering from PTSD, addiction and anxiety to reconnect to a social world from which their ailments have separated them.
Nuwer argues that the effort to recontextualize MDMA as a treatment for trauma is both "the latest installment in a long history of hype that’s surrounded this unique molecule" and a return to the drug’s roots.
Although there are a few digressions into such topics as early Christianity and reasons people seek mind-altering substances, the book's information is current and accurate.
An illuminating, myth-free exploration of mental health from a unique perspective..
