The Reset Rebel meets New York Psychadelic explorer and author Daniel Pinchbeck

This week our presenter Jo Youle meets New York author, Daniel Pinchbeck, who was on the island visiting friends and also talking at the third edition of Cosmic Pineapple. 

Daniel is best known for his first book Breaking Open the head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism.  Published in 2002. 

Breaking Open the Head looks at the cultural history of psychedelic use, philosophical and critical perspectives on shamanism, and his personal transformation from a cynical New York litterateur to psychedelic acolyte.

He has written two more books since and his latest, How Soon Is Now is described by Russell Brand as being a "Blueprint for our future." Its out in paper back this month and was the focus of his talk for the festival on Ibiza. 

Daniel is also currently co authoring a book on Plant medicines, namely Ayahuasca and also co-founded the web magazine, Reality Sandwich, and Evolver.net.

In todays show Daniel tell us a little of the background to creating How soon is Now which unveils the ecological crisis unfolding on our planet right now. Daniel also tells us how MDMA is being used sucessfully in tests for those suffering PTSD in the states and also a little of his journey through exploration with psychadelics on his healing journey.
