Michael Pollan
Michael Pollan books - 20 recommended reads.
Michael Pollan is one of the most prominent food writers and journalists alive who wries not about diet, losing weight or secret techniques to nutrients. He has a famous approach to slow food ad simple food.
This approach is absolutely natural and backed by modern science. Michal Pollan books are bestsellers and often listed as the best to read if you want to change your mindset when it comes to food.
Michael has a gift for seeing interconnections and presenting these often difficult-to-understand stories in a way that makes them interesting to the world.
In his remarks, Pollan acknowledged Slow Food's role in preserving the sensory component of food culture while striving to improve the world around us.
In an era in which people do not attach importance to food, considering food consumption a secondary rather than primary activity (when one eats or drinks while doing something else at the same time), maintaining the integrity of the sensual aspects of food is becoming increasingly rare. All this takes us further and further away from knowing what we eat.
He is an extremely intelligent person, so the ability to look into his personal library is a rare opportunity.
It is a list of books Michael Pollan recommends and admires. This is an ultimate 20 Michael Pollan favorite books.

Miserable Miracle
Miserable Miracle by Henri Michaux, which describes a similar experimentation with mescaline, is the opposite of The Doors of Perception, according to Pollan. Though Michaux’s experience took place in the same year as Huxley’s peyote trials, Michaux recounts things completely differently. Pollan says, “to read those two books is to get a good sense of the two poles on how to describe [tripping].”
