I'm Rufus Grisscom. And I'm Caleb Bissinger. And this is the next big idea. Today, Michael Pollan on psychedelics, consciousness, and his next book. As you may have heard, the next big idea club, that's the book club attached to this podcast, recently selected Michael Pollan's latest book, A World Appears.
So what does that mean exactly? Okay, it means that our members got a copy of Michael's book. They actually got that copy before the book was published. The week before, that was so cool, Caleb. We were delighted to make that happen.
And it went on to hit number two on the New York Times bestseller list. Members also received a text and audio reading guide. They had the opportunity to chat with each other and with us on WhatsApp and on Zoom calls. And I think best of all, they got to attend a members-only Q<unk>A with Michael Pollin. Thank you for your interest in the book and for actually reading it.
