Duncan Trussell On How To Take The Best Ride Through Life | Aubrey Marcus Podcast |
|
This is one of my all time favorite conversations with comedian, philosopher, and fellow psychonaut Duncan Trussell. I can’t think of a better time to bring this conversation back to the collective. Duncan Trussell and I discuss how psychedelics are challenging the stories about how to heal trauma, the reality of how small our fears are in comparison to the divine, and the illusion of control that we all love so much.
Don't miss the incredible part about how the placebo effect works and why people have been taking psychedelics and plant-based medicine for thousands of years. We also discuss why people are into microdosing, its effects and what the potential ramifications are for people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
