*excellent* half-hour summary

I've both listen to and read Pollan's How to Change Your Mind, and this summary is excellent, both summarizing and analyzing Pollan's original and adding contextual material.

If inclined one might listen to it as an overview and then listen to (or read) the original. (A 13.5 hour listen). Or use it to cogently review the original's main thrust and context.

It wouldn't replace the original, as Michael Pollen is a remarkably good writer, marshaling excellent information from many sources, and presenting it engagingly and clearly.
