The book is an account of his trip on Mescaline, the insights he experienced, and the esthetic beauty he saw. Huxley’s psychedelic experience helped him develop psychological and philosophical ideas around perception. He believed we live in a narrow field of perception. We need to open our minds to a broader perceptual experience to improve our lives. Because of his experience, Huxley recommended Mescaline to others.Similar to Brave New World, The Doors of Perception also describes how we can break away from normal perception and uniquely experience the world.Back in the 1930s, Huxley called Mescaline a poison worse than Soma. So it’s interesting to see how his perception of the drug changed within the 22 years of writing the two books.“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.” — ALDOUS HUXLEYMain Idea 1: Learning About The ExtractMain Idea 2: The Effects of MescalineMain Idea 3: Seeing Beyond the ObjectMain Idea 4: Seeing Beyond the SelfFirst published on May 20, 2022.

Covey suggests that readers use a character ethic instead. A character ethic relies on timeless principles, like courage and integrity. To make this transition, you will have to go through what Covey calls a paradigm shift. An effective person has learned to make the paradigm shift from outside in to inside out. They have progressed along the growth continuum from dependence to independence and finally to interdependence. An effective person has also found the balance of production while increasing their capability to produce. To become an effective person, you have to encourage a paradigm shift in your worldview by adopting the seven habits of highly effective people.The first three habits are habits of self-mastery, or private victories. These are:Be ProactiveBegin With the End in MindPut First Things FirstThese three must come first. After adopting these habits, you can use the three habits of public victories. These three habits are built on interdependence. These are:Think Win-WinSeek First to Understand, Then to Be UnderstoodSynergizeThe last habit relies on continuous improvement and is key to the proper functioning and renewal of the first six. This habit is:Sharpen the SawPart II - Private VictoryHabit 1: Be ProactiveHabit 2: Begin With the End in MindHabit 3: Put First Things FirstCriticismMany people criticize Seven Habits of Highly Effective People for being vague and outdated. However, these were not problems with the original text, but rather with its followers. Covey and his work were revolutionary and many people did not comprehend the depth of the content in his book. He often gave speeches to follow up on his book’s ideas and would give more in-depth explanations to answer questions from his audience, who are often comprised of authors, journalists, entrepreneurs, business owners, marketers, educators and other professionals.Get the full text, animated, and PDF version of this summary and many more bestselling nonfiction books for free here: https://go.getstoryshots.com/6kUcFirst published in 2020.

Get the audiobook for free or listen to it on Spotify.Disclaimer: This is an unofficial summary and analysis.StoryShots Summary and Review of The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van der KolkAbout Bessel Van der KolkBessell Van der Kolk, MD, is a qualified psychiatrist. He specializes in the field of post-traumatic stress, which led him to write over 150 peer-reviewed scientific articles, the majority of them about post-traumatic stress. Van der Kolk, originally from the Netherlands, has also served as president of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. He is currently a professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine. IntroductionThe Body Keeps the Score is an innovative book by psychiatrist and trauma expert Van der Kolk. We all understand the effect that psychological trauma can have on individuals. Trauma can impact the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. Psychological trauma can have a lasting impact on the individual’s loved ones as well. In this book, Van der Kolk covers the intricacies of how trauma produces these effects by considering the neuroscience involved. Van der Kolk also presents ways neuroscience allows us to produce new, effective treatments for psychological trauma survivors. Examples of these approaches include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, yoga, and limbic system therapy. Van der Kolk guides us through these modern therapies by recalling his career and the patients he has seen. So this book also serves as a history of the mental health field of the last 30 years. After learning these storyshots, you will better understand how our brains react to and deal with psychological trauma. What Van der Kolk recommends is helping survivors of psychological trauma to recover.StoryShot #1: Antidepressants Ruined Mental Health Support Van der Kolk describes how he and other researchers/therapists were so excited when antidepressants were first introduced. He now believes that our overuse of these medications has led us to treat mental illness as a disease. Unfortunately, this approach means that the following things have been removed from mental health support: The belief that we can heal each other in the same way we can destroy each other Language that is critical to providing us with the power to change circumstances Controlling our physiology by using breathing, moving, and touching techniques, rather than by resorting to medication An inclination to change social conditions so that people feel safer and are then able to thrive StoryShot #2: The Development of Our Understanding of TraumaStoryShot #3: Trauma Influences RelationshipsStoryShot #4: Therapy Can Treat TraumaStoryShot #5: Brain Scanning Suggests You Should Take ActionStoryShot #6: How Therapists Should Approach Treating TraumaStoryShot #7: Early Trauma Changes NeuroanatomyStoryShot #8: Traumatic Memories Are DisorganizedNOTE: First published on 29/5/2021.

Do you imagine a world of fantasy and irony? Or do you get skeptical immediately? Psychedelics have been cast under that kind of light. This bleak light comes from decades of hysteria, negative reviews and punitive legislation. However, that's not how the story has always been. The author of the book, Michael Pollan, was born too late to partake in the acid trips that Woodstock is famous for. He was also young enough to get a taste. This was before the mass hysteria and legislation cast an image of psychedelics as the devil's agents. Pollan’s journey begins with a paper he had ignored earlier. It led him to take a deeper look into the scientific study of the effects of psychedelics. The meat of this book starts when the study of psychedelics and their uses was highly condemned. At the time, Pollan decided to gather first-hand experience of their usage. While he had put little thought into such substances and their effects, this was a chance to satisfy his curiosity. â€œOne good way to understand a complex system is to disturb it and then see what happens.” - Michael PollanHow to Change your Mind is an inspired look into the effects psychedelics have on the mind. The exploits back up the mystical experiences of those who took psilocybin in a controlled test. These experiences increased Pollan's interest in the subject. About Michael PollanMichael Pollan is a storied journalist whose work has covered periphery topics that many don't think about or find absurd. Even then, his insights are eye-opening in most cases. His recent book, This Is Your Mind On Plants, is a remarkable collection of such insights.Although Pollan's roots are in journalism, his fame grew through his books. Pollan is also a Knight Professor at the UC Berkeley School of Journalism and writes articles on science and the environment.Pollan has earned both accolades and criticisms from scientists, therapists, and medical professionals. Most notably in 2015, he was a recipient of the Washburn Award. StoryShot #1: Psychedelics Went Through a RenaissanceA Cascade of TalentStoryShot #2: Psychedelics Had Potential to Revolutionize Natural History StoryShot #3: Society Initially Resisted Psychedelics StronglyStoryShot #4: An Underground Tour Helped Pollan Understand PsychedelicsFirst published on January 27, 2023.

Making the right choices today can make a big difference in the years ahead. The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. How Not to Die examines the top causes of death in America. When it comes to tackling these key causes of death, nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches. Peer-reviewed academic studies support each of Dr. Greger’s approaches. The overwhelming conclusion is that a whole food plant-based diet is the most effective ‘treatment’ to prevent and cure America's biggest killers.You may be used to hearing that you should avoid eating certain foods. The common link between the most harmful foods is that they are animal products. Here you can find out why they are so damaging to your health. What you may not realize is that many foods are actively beneficial and some can help prevent and even treat killer diseases. Learn what to eat and what to avoid to give yourself the best chance of a long life. Other lifestyle changes, like regular exercise and stopping smoking, can help you on your way.   â€œI opened my eyes to the depressing fact that there are other forces at work in medicine besides science. The U.S. healthcare system runs on a fee-for-service model in which doctors get paid for the pills and procedures they prescribe, rewarding quantity over quality. We don’t get reimbursed for time spent counseling our patients about the benefits of healthy eating. If doctors were instead paid for performance, there would be a financial incentive to treat the lifestyle causes of disease. Until the model of reimbursement changes, I don’t expect great changes in medical care or medical education.” – Dr. Michael GregerStoryShot #1: There Are 14 Top Killer DiseasesStoryShot #2: Prevent Heart DiseaseStoryShot #3: Prevent Lung DiseasesStoryShot #4: Prevent Brain Diseases (Stroke and Alzheimer’s)StrokeAlzheimer’sStoryShot #5: Prevent Digestive CancersGo deeper with other books related to How Not to Diet: How Not to Diet by Michael Greger The Plant Paradox by Steven Gundry Fast Like A Girl by Mindy Petz The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss Thinner Leaner Stronger by Michael Matthews The Obesity Code by Jason Fung Not A Diet Book by James Smith Fast This Way by Dave Asprey First published on February 25, 2023.

And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene... has put together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust.” - New York MagazineWorld leaders, corporate executives, and other celebrities often influence global events. Have you ever wondered how these powerful people got to where they are? The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene focuses on techniques for establishing power and influence in any situation. The book presents historical instances of each law in operation. It also provides examples of people who do not follow these principles. A cynical person may think that a few laws are devious, and some of them really are. That said, they are all anchored in the complexities of human nature. In the end, understanding and using them to your advantage is more crucial than denying their existence.There are various instances in our life and career where these laws are relevant. Different circumstances require different courses of action. The book provides a guide to harness these laws to your advantage, regardless of the environment. Some laws focus on improving yourself progressively. Other laws focus on achieving victory over others in various pursuits of life. Ultimately, The 48 Laws of Power teaches you to take control of your destiny. The central premise is that you can either be the person in power or a pawn in their agenda. If you seek to wield power rather than yield it, this book is a must-read. In this summary, we have outlined the key ideas from The 48 Laws of Power.“Critical for anyone trying to accomplish anything.” - Ryan HolidayAbout Robert GreeneGreene developed many insights into The 48 Laws of Power while working as a Hollywood writer. The psychological and behavioral similarities between today's elite and historical personalities inspired him.Greene thought writing a book proposal was risky. His views changed when he revisited Julius Caesar's favorite biography. Caesar's determination to cross the Rubicon River and confront Pompey inspired him.
