Story
In 1637, one Dutchman paid as much for a single tulip bulb as the going price of a town house in Amsterdam. Three and a half centuries later, Amsterdam is once again the mecca for people who care passionately about one particular plant—though this time the obsessions revolves around the intoxicating effects of marijuana rather than the visual beauty of the tulip. How could flowers, of all things, become such objects of desire that they can drive men to financial ruin?

Story
Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

Publisher's Summary
Ayahuasca is a powerful tool for transformation, that more and more Westerners are flocking to drink in a quest for greater self-knowledge, healing and reconnection with the natural world. This formerly esoteric, little-known brew is now a growth industry. But why?
Ayahuasca is a psychoactive tea that has a long history of ritual use among indigenous groups of the Upper Amazon. Made from the ayahuasca vine and the leaves of a shrub, ayahuasca is associated with healing in collective ceremonies and in more intimate contexts, generally under the direction of specialist - an ayahuasquero. These are experienced practitioners who guide the ceremony and the "drinkers'" experience.
Ayahuasca has gained significant popularity these days in cities around the world. Ceremonies happen nightly and Hollywood stars, Wall Street players and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs now drink the brew. Why? What effect might ayahuasca be having on our culture? Could it be the LSD of our time? Does the brew, which seems to inspire environmental action, simplified lifestyles and more communitarian behaviour, act as an antidote to frenzied consumerist culture?
In When Plants Dream, Pinchbeck and Rokhlin explore the economic, social, political, cultural and environmental impact that ayahuasca is having on society. "Part One" covers the background; what ayahuasca is, where it is found, and its cultural origins. "Part Two" explores the role and practices of the ayahuasquero in both Amazonian and Western cultures. "Part Three" examines the medicinal plants of the Amazon, looking particularly at the ingredients in ayahuasca and their therapeutic qualities, covering the most up-to-date biomedical research, psychedelic science, and psychopharmacology. "Part Four" looks more closely at how ayahuasca is perceived and used today, covering law, the drug wars, media and money. Lastly, in "Part Five", Pinchbeck and Rokhlin question the future of ayahuasca.
When Plants Dream is the first book of its kind to look at the science and expanding culture of ayahuasca, from its historical use to its appropriation by the West and the impact it is having on cultures beyond the Amazon.

fantastic
I loved listening to this book, I thoroughly enjoyed how it was written, the information covered was fantastic a great book for someone who knows nothing and wants to get an understanding. I am glad the inclusion of the impact of colonialism not only in the past but in the present through tourism is addressed, super important and we'll delivered touching on points which one might forget. great book would recommend!

Ep3 a new hope
great incites. consciousness. realities far from mainstream. teaching. a new breath. which way to learning the plant songs via deep meditation and open hearted connection via honesty and joy. does everything have to be a psychedelic? the value is infinite regarding these plant teachings via altered states and im for this option with the plant consumption yet...could this connection be one about patience not shocking the consciousness out of bad habbits but rather practicing self restraint for the good of the Earth and its beings via stepping away from anthropocentric actions and following commonsense. As Mr S H Buhner states its the spirit of the plant that heals the dis...ease the the plant chemical merely gives it a form to travel. Masanobu Fukuoka achieved this connection along with many others and i have not read that they need the "medicine" to get there. this is a very important book and the great issue is do we want a world of nature or industrial pollutants as the cleptocrats prepare to planet jump and leave the majority to heal the Earth. the dream as the book states is a weeving of our very souls toward a reality of health and joy not slavery and servitude which many indigenous peoples of the Amazon are living due to Western hypocrisy consumerism and narcissism and isolationist capitalism. thanks to the authors for this truly important book they are in my reciprocity consciousness.

Pretty good
Lots of good information, somewhat diminished by tedious leftist political perspectives. (Donors to the Republican Party being called “far right”, uncritically repeating statements by Extinction rebellion, about carbon dioxide, etc. The narrator’s way of stressing the last word of most sentences became quite amusing after a while!
