You know, I, like most people, thought that, you know, if you took psychedelics, you had to worry about jumping off a building. Right, right, right. You know, Michael dispels that pretty quickly in his book. And so reading the book was like reading a novel, Oprah. I mean, this thing just reads so quick and it just pulled me right through it.
