About this listen

What if the history of humanity is also the history of our relationship with mind-altering plants? This powerful summary of Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge explores how psychoactive substances have shaped human evolution, religion, power structures, and even today’s addictive culture.

In clear, engaging language, it follows the journey from early mushroom-eating primates and partnership societies to the rise of dominator cultures, sugar, slavery, and the modern “war on consciousness.” You’ll learn how different substances either deepen connection and insight or fuel control, numbness, and dependency—and what that means for your daily choices.
