Think Inc. is delighted to bring you immersive journalist, psychonaut and best-selling author Michael Pollan in May and June 2023. Challenge the way you consider food, drugs and our relationship with the natural world at his events in Sydney, Auckland, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
For over thirty years, Michael has been writing books and articles about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in our minds.
On tour, Michael is honing in on these spaces, delving into our surprising history with food; the unfathomable (and often cruel) systems that get ingredients from farms to our plates; and the future of drugs in society, where psychedelic medicines may be commonplace.
He’ll urge audiences to re-think our relationship with nature, exploring the rhythms of our everyday engagement with the outdoors in all its glory and exasperation.
Dr Richard Di Natale, former Australian Greens leader, Senator and public health specialist says, “I learnt more from Michael Pollan’s writing on food than I did during my six-year medical degree and his recent work on the potential of psychedelics is another wonderful contribution to the literature. No one writes with more clarity or insight about the intersection between humans and the natural world.”
Michael has been a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine since 1987, with his writing receiving numerous awards, in 2010 he was among Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world, and several of his books (including How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and Food Rules) have been immediate #1 New York Times bestsellers.
You might’ve also caught him on his Netflix shows Cooked or How to Change Your Mind, or online with Joe Rogan, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher.
Think Inc., the outfit behind the hit tours of Dr Jane Goodall and Neil deGrasse Tyson, as well as the upcoming Australian and New Zealand events for Professor Brian Greene and Michael Mann, are proud to bring you An Evening with Michael Pollan: How To Change Your Mind.
