#358 In this episode, Guy interviewed Adam Butler about his transformative journey with dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and other psychedelics. Adam shared his story of hitting rock bottom, battling alcoholism, and experiencing an awakening that transformed his life. They discussed the misconceptions about happiness being tied to external factors and how psychedelics helped Adam explore and confront his inner demons. Adam explained the unique aspects of DMT, its profound impact on mental health, and how it's different from other psychedelics. He also talked about his book, which serves as a guide to understanding and using DMT for personal growth and healing. The conversation delves into the broader implications of psychedelics for consciousness, mental health, and spiritual awakening, emphasizing the power of self-exploration and inner work.

About Adam: Adam Butler is a psychedelic philosopher and passionate DMT psychonaut focusing on mental health, neuroplasticity, self-exploration, and the extreme limits of human potential and ability. Combining an academically trained intellect, empathetic heart, and life-hardening experiences, Adam has found his niche in helping others overcome the fear associated with PTSD, depression, sexual repression, and addiction. By incorporating psychedelic compounds with deep meditation, lucid dreaming, and tantric practices he has changed from being an over worked, over-weight, stressed-out alcoholic asshole into a balanced, healthy, and sober friend and mentor to many.
