About this ebook
What if one six-hour journey could do what years of therapy and medication could not?
In A Dose of Enlightenment, acclaimed psychologist and bestselling author John Gartner, Ph.D. reveals how psilocybin therapy is transforming the future of mental health. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, riveting patient stories, and his own personal experience, Gartner delivers a rare, intimate look at what happens inside the human mind during and after psychedelic therapy—and why its results may rival a spiritual awakening.
From the research labs of Johns Hopkins to the inner worlds of five patients struggling with depression, addiction, and trauma, Gartner chronicles the profound healing, insight, and compassion unlocked when the brain’s “default mode network” is quieted and the ego dissolves. As his subjects’ lives unfold over a year, we witness transformations that echo the teachings of mystics and the breakthroughs of modern science alike.
Part Oliver Sacks, part Michael Pollan, A Dose of Enlightenment is a window into the coming psychedelic revolution and a map to the next stage of human consciousness.
