I enjoyed the first 2 and the last 2 chapters the most (the history of psychedelics and the science of psychedelics). The stuff in the middle like the vivid description of the author's trips, while necessary for the book to feel cohesive, can be skipped entirely. IMO it is like seeing a ghost or witnessing a miracle. You won't get it until it happens to you.
Some concepts I found very intriguing (Eg. default mode network). Though it all makes a lot of sense which makes me skeptical.
I was cautious. Now I'm very curious.
