The "placebo effect" gets a bad rap. The human mind is a powerful thing, capable of incredible feats of healing and transformation. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of psychedelic research. Dr. Boris Heifets has spent years studying the neurobiological underpinnings of these compounds, but he knows that their true power lies in something much deeper.

 

In this interview, Dr. Boris Heifets discusses:

•His efforts to understand the neurobiological underpinnings of psychedelics, and how that translates to the future of psychiatry

•The healing power of suggestion (and an amazing first-person account)

•How he uses his knowledge to turn ideas into real-world applications
