À propos de cet audio
A revealing, courageous, fascinating, and funny account of the author's experiment with microdoses of LSD in an effort to treat a debilitating mood disorder, of her quest to understand a misunderstood drug, and of her search for a really good day.
When a small vial arrives in her mailbox from "Lewis Carroll", Ayelet Waldman is at a low point. Her mood storms have become intolerably severe; she has tried nearly every medication possible; her husband and children are suffering with her. So she opens the vial, places two drops on her tongue, and joins the ranks of an underground but increasingly vocal group of scientists and civilians successfully using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. As Waldman charts her experience over the course of a month - bursts of productivity, sleepless nights, a newfound sense of equanimity - she also explores the history and mythology of LSD, the cutting-edge research into the drug, and the byzantine policies that control it. Drawing on her experience as a federal public defender and as the mother of teenagers and her research into the therapeutic value of psychedelics, Waldman has produced a book that is eye-opening, often hilarious, and utterly enthralling.

Great, well-researched book
Great overall message about how psychedelics can help people when taken responsibly! Author/narrator can be whiny at times regarding extremely minor aspects of her incredibly privileged life. Other than that, this book is a great overview of her LSD microdosing experience, definitely recommend!

A REALLY GOOD BOOK
This book was so informative, well read, and so insightful. It shared more than just her experience of microdosing but shared facts about how the war on drugs has created more harm than good. Excellent research and very personable perspective. Everyone should read this book

I learned a lot
Not the sort of book I would usually read/listen to, but it was a special offer so I gave it a go. Glad I did. If this writer is to be believed, and I have no reason not to, there are a lot of myths and misinformation spread about some of the drugs that people use either recreationally or otherwise.
I had never heard of micro-dosing before, and thought LSD had no positive benefits. In fact I just (in the last week) read about an actual scientific study being conducted on LSD micro-dosing, and I will be most interested to see what they find.
The writing is excellent although some of the detail seemed a little repetitive and dry, but probably necessary. That's probably why I listened to it twice, because I found my mind drifting through some of the detail, and needed to hear it again so it could soak in. Clearly Ms. Waldman did her homework!
On the basis of this book, I am now much better informed and much less worried about some of the effects of certain drugs that can have, and in fact there are positive benefits.

Too much irrelevant content
This book could be 90% shorter if the writer kept to the topic at hand which is her experience with microdising LSD. You have to go through a ton of fluff to get to a single useful peice of information. It sounded more like a novel than a non-fiction. There are many other books out there that cover the topic of microdising a whole lot better. Disappointed!

Anecdotal
Unfortunately this book is just anecdotal, science is light, and is overloaded with introspective thaughts of the author. Too much swearing and wandering around in nonsense. theme was interesting, but narrative was heavy.

A Little Hard to Relate To
Ayelet Waldman is an unattractive combination of smug and self-deprecating. There are elements of this book that I liked, but some things about her style drove me batty.
I understand that this is an experiment of 1, so the meat of this is anecdotal, and that's fine. Actually, the author is almost painfully honest, and I do agree that takes courage! The trouble is, some of the things she's honest about don't make her all that likeable. We learn that she's cheated multiple times on a past partner, that she sometimes yells at service people, and that she's downright judgmental of the people she encounters running daily errands. Does anyone measure up to her insane standards? I doubt it.
The author is also very pearl-clutchy about the very IDEA of drug intoxication. She's not interested in the consciousness-altering effects of psychedelics; a fact that she repeats ad nauseum. It's just plain IRONIC that the same woman who quotes Terence McKenna at the beginning of the book refuses to acknowledge the very human desire to get high within herself. She was desperate; she simply HAD to try microdosing...I think she's trying to convince herself!
