Book Recommendations
The author is a lead pastor’s friend from Harvard conferences.
His book persuaded the pastor to change some views.
I buy few books lately, but have to consider this book, if relevant.

Article: The mystic trip: how psychedelic research fell for mysticism (Jul. 2026)
non title-case is a stupid idea/ trend with an insultingly dumb justification argument; everyone is wrong, as usual
Their Mystic Trip article, with Sharday Mosurinjohn, is high-relevance, implying that his book is high-relevance.
Compare: I was satisfied & recomm Louis Sass’ books (read in hardcover when published):
- Madness and Modernism
- The Paradoxes of Delusion
The pastor seems to recomm the Acute book.
I almost recommended that that pastor should read Paradoxes of Delusion, but it was too short of a hot conversation; there was a high bar for which topics to mention.
