Microdosing Psychedelics: A Practical Guide to Upgrade Your Life by Paul Austin is a comprehensive guide to all the necessary information on the practice of microdosing – including protocols, benefits, drawbacks, and sourcing. Weaving together anecdotal narratives and preliminary research on the use of small amounts of psychedelics, Microdosing Psychedelics is oriented toward anyone interested in microdosing to improve their general well-being, particularly those in leadership and creative positions.Over the last few years, microdosing has entered the cultural zeitgeist. From bio-hackers in Silicon Valley seeking to improve their focus, to writers and artists looking for a creative edge, to suburban moms struggling with depression, to everyday people who want to achieve emotional balance, microdosing has led the way in mainstreaming and normalizing psychedelics. In the most comprehensive book of its kind, author, public speaker, and microdosing expert Paul Austin provides a thorough overview of how just about anyone can benefit from an intentional, structured microdosing protocol. In Microdosing Psychedelics, Austin provides readers with everything they need to know about microdosing, including:•What exactly is microdosing and how did it become a “thing?”•How to set up a weekly schedule if you want to experiment with microdosing•Three ways microdosing can benefit your professional career•The safest and easiest ways to obtain psychedelics if you wish to experiment with microdosing

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic and educational guide in practicing safe microdosing
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018

This is an excellent guide! I think it's so important to have straightforward and clear resources for those looking to explore self healing. Its so refreshing to find good information, that is looking to help people, help themselves. This was a fantastic read, and has helped me a lot in my plans to explore microdosing in a safe and healthy way. Its so unfortunate that psychadelics have such a stigma about them, and i think this is a productive step into changing the dialogue to help us as humans get back to our roots, look inside ourselves and connect with each other.

I never thought id see the day where we could educate about something so dear to me, I only wish that i had this guide years ago.

Seriously, thank you so much

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but not fully
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2020

I hate to take off a star, but I want to leave an honest review. This book was helpful, but it doesn't set you up with all that you need to know. I started microdosing after reading this, but the instructions were quite vague. I feel like I need a full on, very detailed explanation before I start doing something like this. The author talks a lot about silicon valley and entrepreneurs microdosing, and has a whole chapter devoted to information I wasn't even interested in. It seems like this book was written to advertise his online venture "The Third Wave". He kept referring to that and also the "The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide" by James Fadiman. I don't want to go pay to interact with his online community, when I already paid to purchase the book. I felt the book should have enough info on its own. One useful thing is the list of sources. I ended up purchasing James Fadiman's book in hopes of a more thorough read. This book isn't terrible, but if you really want to get into microdosing, I recommend skipping this and going straight for the sources he mentioned.

If you’re curious about the myriad ways that psychedelics can impact your life and society at large, this book may be of interest to you. Beyond the practical advice for sourcing and experimenting with psychedelic substances on your own, Austin places these substances in the wider contexts of psychology, creativity, business and leadership. As the stigma on mind-altering substances steadily recedes in the western world, the curiosity will only grow, and people will ask more and more questions about how psychedelics can positively impact their own lives and careers. Austin attempts to answer as many of these questions as he can in this book.

Thank you Paul for your great book containing all aspects of microdosing and the inspiration of consciousness- expansion that we may look forward to. I am in the process of weaning off Cymbalta and will be starting microdosing in about a month and a half from now and your book will be my guide in that. Thank you as well for your third wave website and podcast. I believe your work will contribute to the change of draconian laws that should never have been enacted and that have been a huge detriment to the well-being of thousands of people with depression, PTSD etc.

Nothing here you either: [1] didn't already know [2] could have guessed [3] can reason out for yourself with 6 seconds of thought, or [4] can find on Vaults of Erowid, Mycotopia, Shroomery, The Nexian, or elsewhere on the web without much effort. But if you like being reminded of the obvious - in case you feel insecure in your own observations - and are satisfied with advice/info on the level of "if you feel sick, you should see your doctor", and "To meet people with similar interests, find out where they are, and hang out in those places" then you'll be happy with this book and feel like it made a contribution to your understanding of microdosing & psychedelic substances.

I suppose the main hindrance here is that the subject deals with possible illegalities while the author does not want attention from law enforcement, and thus is restrained from dealing with the majority of issues involved with microdosing, which does not leave much to discuss that you could not have guessed for yourself.

It would be similar to a book on folk remedies/alternative healing by someone who wholeheartedly supports the Medical establishments approach to healing, and so does not tell you much other than "go see your doctor at the 1st sign of any irregularities" and "try to eat healthy food", but does not want to rock the boat or suggest avoiding doctors, which would really have to be the point of such a book. In other words, don't think for a moment that this book will help you in any significant way to source the needed supplies for actual microdosing.

The best you can do with this info is to find - maybe by trial and error? - some kind of therapist who can legally administer them. Then if you're 1 of the lucky people who have large chunks of money left over after your living expenses, you can dabble in therapist hunting to see if you can find that magic situation where they will accommodate your desire to experiment with psychedelics. Good luck with that.

So great to have all the information in one place for this cutting edge technology. Austin really knows his stuff, having interviewed all the top people in related fields as well as his own research and personal experience. Highly readable and interesting for anyone wanting to upgrade their day to day experience of life and achieve their goals with more speed and focus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una portafinestra verso la libertà individuale
Reviewed in Italy on April 16, 2018

Questo libro è una porta alla percezione. Una portafinestra verso la libertà individuale tramite la libertà cognitiva. Suggerisce una profonda guarigione e crescita in un'epoca che offre molte innovazioni e nello stesso tempo moltissime strade sbagliate. Sapere discernere tra ciò che ci può aiutare e ciò che ci può distruggere è fondamentale. Paul Austen e i suoi collaboratori mi hanno dato una mappa per conoscere le risorse che abbiamo su questo pianeta e le varie rotte che si possono intraprendere nel mondo di oggi, per esempio tramite i benefici di alcune piante usate da millenni in antiche civiltà e che, per qualche motivo, sono state dimenticate dalla società dai tempi di Descartes fino a oggi. Il dualismo, la super-razionalità e il riduzionismo di una scienza bendata e una politica blindata sta portando il pianeta intero verso il baratro. Nelle pagine di questo libro ci sono le indicazioni per trovare una possibile soluzione per se e per la collettività. Consigliatissimo.
