How your mind works on mushrooms

The Happy Entrepreneur

Whether it's problem-solving an issue, coming up with a new product, or making a mark on the world, our personal vision of success often needs new ideas. But what if you’re stuck in a rut?

What if the usual ways of “shaking the snow globe” just won’t cut it any more?

What if the way forward isn't the state of our business plan but the state of our consciousness?

On this episode, Carlos and Laurence welcome Dr David Luke, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Greenwich, for an enlightening conversation.

He’s published over 100 academic papers, including ten books, and is also a co-founder and director of Breaking Convention: International Conference on Psychedelic Consciousness. His research includes altered states of consciousness, especially via psychedelics.

Why? Because there’s an ever-increasing body of renewed research into the use of these substances to help nudge our brains out of our habitual thinking patterns.

But you don't need to take drugs to access the states of mind they trigger.You can feel more creative, less inhibited, and more connected to yourself, others, and the natural world.You just need to know how your mind truly works.

Discover how altered states can:

  • Disrupt habitual thought patterns to spark innovative ideas
  • Increase neuroplasticity and open the door to personal growth
  • Foster a deeper connection to yourself, others, and the natural world
