About this title

Synopsis

Can psychedelic drugs help us tackle the biggest problems we face globally? Can they heal the cultural, spiritual, and political wounds we're wrestling with?

Psychedelics have hit the mainstream as powerful new mental health treatments. But as clinicians explore what these molecules can do for our individual minds, The Bigger Picture goes further to illuminate how psychedelics can help us find new ways to make sense of and come through the crises we face around the world.

Drawing on the latest research, as well as his unique experience as a participant in a ground-breaking clinical trial investigating the potent psychedelic DMT, Alexander Beiner reveals:

• the role of psychedelics in addressing global issues such as global warming, geopolitical instability, and political polarization
• the dark side of the 'psychedelic renaissance' and 'psychedelic capitalism'
• what it takes to elicit huge personal and cultural transformation through psychedelics

Embark on a journey into The Bigger Picture - a new era of science and spirituality with the potential to radically transform our perceptions of ourselves, one another, and our life on this planet.
