Psychedelic researcher Roland Griffiths took LSD after he was diagnosed with cancer, and he used it as a chance to have a conversation with his cancer, he tells @TTBOOK, asking questions like: "Do I have to die?" and "How am I supposed to be with this?" wpr.org/how-pioneering-psych…

I've been tracking the psychedelic revival for years, recording interviews for what I hoped would become a radio series. Well, "Luminous" is finally here. If you have a taste for philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness - and what's "real" - I hope you'll listen.
In the first episode of "Luminous," our series about the philosophy and the future of psychedelics, how can psilocybin ease our fears about dying? And how can psychedelics change the way we approach the end of life? ttbook.org/show/luminous-wha…

Roland Griffiths @JHPsychedelics is remarkable in so many ways. After his recent cancer diagnosis, he’s started talking publicly about his own psychedelic experiences, including a recent LSD trip where he “talked” with his cancer.
Roland Griffiths helped pioneer the use of psychedelics to treat people with cancer who are scared of dying. Then he got his own terminal diagnosis. He talks with Steve Paulson about his personal LSD journey when he "talked" with his cancer. ttbook.org/interview/how-pio…

Did you know there’s a science of awe? Dacher Keltner of @GreaterGoodSC lays it out in all its complexity and explains the difference between awe and wonder.
Psychologist Dacher Keltner says that awe is a unique experience, distinct from all other emotions, and it can make us feel better in a lot of ways. ttbook.org/interview/what-go…

Highly recommend Terrestrials. It’s podcast gold. My kids and I love listening to it together - nature, music, laughs and wonder in spades. Love the badgers and their questions at the end, too. Thank you, @lmillernpr. (And Alan, too!)

"I think you have to recognize that people don't evaluate issues in some sort of rational way. They're moved by emotion, they're moved by grievance, they're moved by excitement. That's what moves people to participate politically..." @jbouie tells @TTBOOK wpr.org/columnist-jamelle-bo…
