When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

For years Brian Weiss, M.D. has focused on leading his patients into the past, yet some of them experienced spontaneous pre-cognitive moments. When developing regression into past lives, one man went forward into the future rather than backward. He entered into an idyllic future life - a passage which helped him emotionally. At that moment, Dr. Weiss recognized that past, present, and future are one. What happens in the future can affect the present, just as the past also influences it.

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to hike 2,172 miles of the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike from Georgia to Maine. Listeners are treated to rich descriptions of the Appalachian Mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the rewards of taking a less conventional path through life. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about hiking gear and planning.

Here, the legendary author of The Monkey Wrench Gang, Abbey's Road and many other critically acclaimed books vividly captures the essence of his life during three seasons as a park ranger in southeastern Utah.

If only it was this easy. . .
This is a well-researched title and totally reaffirmed my faith in the restorative powers of nature. If only it were simple enough to break away and if only there were more guide companies to offer this service. I tried to look up the ones listed in the book but did not find any of them.
One of the issues with being a woman and wanting to hike alone is the safety factor. If anyone knows of any companies that offer this service, let me know. Maybe I'll have to start one.
Good listen and even better medicine for everyone to follow.

Lopsided View of Nature
This was a show about how nature can nurture. Veterans, women who suffered abuse and others are taken on three day camping trips. Scientists run tests to see if the effect actually works. While this is all well and good, the author needs to cover the downsides as well. Such as how many people go missing in the wild and other dangers most people don't hear about. I just completed a fascinating book by an author named Steve Israel, a veteran guide, hunter and outdoor enthusiast who wrote about his experiences and those of many others who encountered cry pride in the wild. The book is filled with reports from military vets, law enforcement officers, guides and park rangers, people who spend far more time, years for most and have far more knowledge about the wild and our place in nature. We are not top of the food chain out in the woods or desert. You can die in the wild. There have been a number of hikers who have gone missing or died unexpectedly this year. The Death in the parks books are eye openers. Irresponsible not to mention other more disturbing dangers.

Makes me want to get outside more!
I am not a big fan of camping but this was a cool listen that encouraged me to explore and get outdoors more. It makes me want to go to Utah and river raft. There were mentions of Salt Lake City Park and Green River Park. There also was a hiking trail that sounded very interesting... the Mansard Trail which is also in Utah. Since I will be visiting Utah very much over the next year or so...I now have some places to visit!

Painful Overstatement of the Obvious
If you've become so detached from your true self, that you need to be reminded of such a concept.... you'll likely need more than 3 days. It's saddening to think that the majority of human beings see the natural world as a place to be visited. When in actuality, it's where we're truely at home.

Nature is good for you
The premise of this podcast series is that it is good for you to spend time outside and if you spend three days outside then it is really good for you. Many people who either work in the open air or have been camping, already know this. And most other people will not be particularly surprised by this conclusion either. The series takes the form of a several groups of people eg ex-military who are feeling stressed and are taken to the Great Outdoors for a few days to go for walks and eat Pringles at the end of which the universal feedback is that they feel better about themselves and their lives. This is further proven by putting electrodes on them and making them wear helmets that monitor their brain activity and, yes, you've guessed it, the scientific evidence shows that their brain activity and their health has improved too. It gets a bit monotonous after the first couple of episodes and there is an inordinate amount of time spent re-capping on the previous show and previewing future shows which gets a bit irritating after a while. Even though it was free, I found this series to be annoying. Perhaps I should spend a bit more time outdoors.

Inspired my morning commute by 30min walk.
This audio tape helped me to come out of my comfort zone to make my work commute an enjoyable one next to the riverside. A 30 min morning and eve walk helped me to refresh my brain. It helped our relationship, after an argument if we can't get to a conclusion we do for a walk. When we come back we are both different people, not angry or upset. The issue just dissolves by itself. This should be applied in schools as a mandatory subject, to be out in nature 1 hr every week at least.

Confirmation Bias Played As Infotainment
Premise: The belief of the presenter that time in nature makes your brain better.
Test: Lots of talk about scientists being sciencey. No discussion on the validity of the "science". No discussion on falsifiable hypotheses. No discussion even on the results of the experiment. Direct input of bias from the researchers when conducting measurements and surveys.
Results: NO VALID CONCLUSION.
This whole series repeats audio clips throughout to push key ideas but fails to back up any assertions made.
Results professed could likely be due to removing participants from their routine, local environment, normal responsibility, social inputs, personal goals and success measurements, or numerous other factors. There is no following up on results.
The talk of scientific equipment and data has no depth and is not referred back to for any conclusions.
While the data collected may have shown strong causal relationships that support the presenter's original assumptions, such relationships were not mentioned. Instead it was all based from the assumptions, with the "scientist's" stated goal being to prove the premise was correct.

great topic - didn't deliver on the goods
I was keen to listen to this but it quite story bussed and anechdotal rather than going through the research. missed opportunity

Easy listen and very interesting
Would have loved a solid conclusion as to whether the 3 day effect is scientifically proven but really enjoyed the exploration of the theory anyway.

Easy listening, enjoyable but not gripping
A nice listen and interesting, but somehow lacking a sense of satisfaction. A nice introduction to the topic. Mostly people's experiences but lacking depth of information.
