Bestselling author Tim Ferriss (Tools of Titans, The 4-Hour Workweek, etc.) probed the science, mysteries, and future of psychedelics with Dr. Roland R. Griffiths, a clinical pharmacologist at Johns Hopkins, on Sunday, March 11, at the SXSW Conference. The session delved into the details and stories that can help both novices and experienced psychonauts get a better understanding of the applications of these incredible compounds.
Dr. Griffiths has been researching mood-altering compounds for more than 40 years, has published more than 370 scientific papers, and started the psilocybin (think “magic mushrooms”) research program at Johns Hopkins nearly 20 years ago. Dr. Griffiths and his colleagues have been leaders in the re-initiation of research with classic psychedelic drugs, which was blocked for a period of several decades.
Tim Ferriss (TW: @tferriss, IG: @timferriss) has been called “a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk” by The New York Times. He is one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Business People” and an early-stage tech investor/advisor in Uber, Facebook, Twitter, Shopify, Duolingo, Alibaba, and 50+ other companies. He is also the author of five #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers, including The 4-Hour Workweek and Tools of Titans. The Observer and other media have nicknamed him “the Oprah of audio” due to the influence of his podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, which has exceeded 200 million downloads and been selected for “Best of iTunes” three years in a row. His latest book is Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World.
