Dear Friends and Readers,
It’s been wonderful to hear from so many of you about my new book This is Your Mind on Plants since it was published a few weeks ago. I’m happy to report that, thanks to your support, it’s officially a New York Times bestseller, debuting at #2 on the bestseller list in Sunday's New York Times Book Review. Thank you, as always, for your interest in my work, and your curiosity about our relationship with the natural world.
I’m also pleased with the critical reception of This is Your Mind on Plants – and the in-depth interviews I’ve recently done.
The Washington Post ran a particularly thoughtful review, calling it “a wonderful and compelling read that will leave you thinking long after you set it down.”
I especially enjoyed this conversation with the ever-provocative Andrew Sullivan, this discussion with The Ringer’s Larry Wilmore, and this interview on Vox Conversations, all quite different.
But most of all, I love hearing from you all, so please share your thoughts on the book with me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
All best,
Michael
I finished this last night... loved the vantage point of being "in" the pandemic...and somewhat isolated and the total arc...like the Milky Way....into the psychedelic spaces which resonated with a voltage of connection very well. Thank you, I truly enjoyed it.
