Better Living Through Microdosing: Ayelet Waldman

Novelist Ayelet Waldman despaired managing her mood disorder—and her husband and children were suffering too. Then she tried something new: 10 micrograms of LSD. For a month, she joined the ranks of an underground but increasingly vocal group using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. In A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life, Waldman draws on her experience as a federal public defender to tell a story that ranges from the war on drugs to harm reduction to psychedelics research. CHF Associate Artistic Director Alison Cuddy will join Waldman in conversation.
