Ayelet Waldman’s honest, witty memoir on microdosing LSD shows how it boosted her mood, saved her marriage, and changed her life—one small dose at a time.
A Real Look at Microdosing—From Someone Who Actually Tried It
Ever feel like your brain’s on a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for? Same here. That’s why A Really Good Day by Ayelet Waldman caught my eye—and honestly, I devoured it in two sittings. This book isn’t just about psychedelics; it’s about mental health, relationships, and figuring yourself out one microdose at a time.
Not Your Typical Self-Help Book
Waldman isn’t a guru or a neuroscientist—she’s a writer, a mom, and someone who was struggling with mood swings so bad they were affecting everything. I could relate more than I wanted to admit. Her 30-day LSD microdosing experiment is raw, witty, and surprisingly relatable.
What You’ll Learn (Without Feeling Lectured)
This isn’t a science-heavy slog. It’s part memoir, part journal, and part cultural commentary. You’ll get:
- A day-by-day account of microdosing and how it impacted her mood
- Honest insights into its effects on marriage and parenting
- Legal and historical context that actually makes sense
When I was considering microdosing myself, this book helped me feel seen. It gave me a grounded, non-hyped view of what to expect—both the good and the challenging.
Who’s It For?
If you’re curious about psychedelics but wary of the hype, or if you’re someone managing depression or emotional ups and downs, this book will resonate. Waldman’s voice is smart, self-aware, and deeply human. I laughed, I nodded along, and by the end, I felt like I’d had coffee with a brutally honest friend.
