The Psychedelic Future of the Mind: How entheogens are enhancing cognition, boosting intelligence, and raising values

Entheogens and psychedelic therapy are framed as tools that can enhance cognition, improve mind and morals, support personal growth, and increase creative problem solving. The book argues that research and emerging clinical practice will broaden psychedelic use beyond psychological treatment into business and society, including strengthened motivation, deeper ethical values, and more meaningful spiritual attitudes. It also presents the idea that psychedelics can help people understand and redesign the human mind, pointing toward a future brain enhancement concept. Chapters and contributor focus include psychedelic research relevant to religious experience and end of life care. The excerpt discusses psychedelic psychotherapy for advanced-stage cancer, emphasizing preparation, supportive session conditions, and follow up integration, with session durations tied to psilocybin and LSD.
