Publisher's summary
A psychiatrist and psychedelic researcher explores the science of connection - why we need it, how we’ve lost it, and how we might find it again.
We are suffering from an epidemic of disconnection that antidepressants and social media can’t fix. This state of isolation puts us in "fight or flight mode", deranging sleep, metabolism, and libido. What’s worse, we’re paranoid of others. This kill-or-be-killed framework is not a way to live. But when we feel safe and loved, we can rest, digest, and repair. We can heal. And it is only in this state of belonging that we can open up to connection with others.
In this powerful audiobook, Holland helps us to understand the science of connection as revealed in human experiences from the spiritual to the psychedelic. The key is oxytocin - a neurotransmitter and hormone produced in our bodies that allows us to trust and bond. It fosters attachment between mothers and infants, romantic partners, friends, and even with our pets. There are many ways to reach this state of mental and physical well-being that modern medicine has overlooked. The implications for our happiness and health are profound.
We can find oneness in meditation, in community, or in awe at the beauty around us. Another option: psychedelic medicines that can catalyze a connection with the self, with nature, or the cosmos. Good Chemistry points us on the right path to forging true and deeper attachments with our own souls, to one another, and even to our planet, helping us heal ourselves and our world.

The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults but also affects our physical health and overall well-being. Scientists now know on a biochemical level exactly how parents' chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical "fingerprints" on our brains.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Why are some people so quick to recover from a setback while others wallow in despair? Why are some people so highly attuned to others that they seem psychic, while other people put both feet in it over and over again? Why are some people always up and others always down? In this hotly anticipated book, award-winning, pioneering neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson answers these questions by offering an entirely new model of our emotions - their origins, their power, and their malleability.

Story
The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease based on evidence that brains change with drug use. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing. Lewis reveals addiction as an unintended consequence of the brain doing what it's supposed to do - seek pleasure and relief - in a world that's not cooperating.

Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Dr. Rankin discovered the health care she had been taught was missing something: a recognition of the body’s innate ability to self-repair. Using cases of spontaneous healing, Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can alter the body’s physiology. She lays out the data proving that loneliness, pessimism, depression, fear, and anxiety damage the body, while intimate relationships, gratitude, meditation, sex, and authentic self-expression flip on the body’s self-healing processes.

Nearly every depressed person is assured by doctors, well-meaning friends and family, the media, and ubiquitous advertisements that the underlying problem is a chemical imbalance. Such a simple defect should be fixable, yet despite all of the resources that have been devoted to finding a pharmacological solution, depression remains stubbornly widespread. Why are we losing this fight?

Few drugs in history have generated as much controversy as MDMA—or held as much promise. Once vilified as a Schedule I substance that would supposedly eat holes in users’ brains, MDMA (also known as Molly or Ecstasy) is now being hailed as a therapeutic agent that could transform the field of mental health and outpace psilocybin and ketamine as the first psychedelic approved for widespread clinical use. In I Feel Love, science journalist Rachel Nuwer separates fact from fantasy, hope from hype, in the drug’s contested history and still-evolving future.

Holy F’ing Sh*t! YAS!
This book is going to be instrumental in psychedelic movement! Dr. Holland- thank you!!! Moody Bitches changed my life and this book validated sooooo much of my personal experience with psychedelics, particularly Ayahuasca as well as my journey into psychedelic parenthood.
Thank you for this blueprint of sorts!
It’s beautifully read, entertaining and educational the whole way through. This isn’t a part you’ll want to skip.
Pro tip: screen record sections on your phone and share with friends 🤘🏼

One of the best books I have read in years
While This isn’t a riveting novel it is a riveting story about how our bodies work in conjunction with a series of psychedelics. I didn’t know that cannabinoids were psychedelics until I read this let alone a host of other interesting facts! The narrator has a wonderful voice and moves the story of our good chemistry along nicely.
If you are Curious about how psychedelics can help with PTSD, depression, and a host of other issues like social anxiety this is a must read.

Interesting Research but Unnecessary sections
This book delves deep into the medical and therapeutic advantages of psychedelics. The first half exposed me to a variety of ideas and interesting research. Towards the last half though, I feel things start to become less interesting. For example, the author explains how she had a pleasant conversation with someone that could not have happened if she had known they were NRA supporters, and continued to explain how that is because conservatives live in a horrible sad world and don't take drugs, not because she's judgemental. Those sections just seem unnecessary and even wrong, and make me start to doubt her other arguments.

Very insightful for those looking to do self work
Almost finished, found most of it to be insightful, and encouraging. The author seems to have a strong case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and repeatedly talks about how horrible Trump is, and how conservatives are to blame for much of what is wrong with our country.
For a book on connection, her rhetoric can come across as polarizing and divisive. Half the country voted Republican in 2020, and while we are all entitled to our opinions, her repeated bouts of trump bashing is distasteful. The fact that she couldn’t have a casual conversation with a 2A supporter because of his hat speaks to the authors own biases and closed mindedness.
Besides the detracting strong political opinions of the author, good book.

useful smart and informative
this book is presents a lot of information in a useful understandable way. The narration is clear (for those of us who listen in the car) and not overly dramatic. There is a .pdf that you can download easily that includes links for information that you might want to know more about. You will not regret a minute of your time listening to this.
