Event Description
In 2017, New York Times best-selling author Ayelet Waldman (HLS ’91) published a groundbreaking memoir: A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life. This intimate, courageous, and humorous book describes Waldman’s experience consuming very small doses of the psychedelic drug LSD.
Ms. Waldman will engage in a broad discussion on the origins and impact of her memoir, how the psychedelic landscape has changed since its publication, and the future of psychedelics in medicine, law, and society. She will be joined in conversation by Petrie-Flom Center's I. Glenn Cohen and Mason Marks.
