  1. Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson,  Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body, the science of what meditation can really do for us,

  2. Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence, May 15, 2018.

As always, the discussion will be quite open and informal with all invited to participate.
