Summary

This episode of Aubrey Marcus Podcast Books features one of my favorite books--Island by Aldous Huxley. It is a masterpiece of utopian fiction that can completely shatter your paradigm. The section I read focuses in on the character Will and his first experience with Moksha, a fictional psychedelic sacrament. One central tenet of this book and the scene specifically is the importance of cultivating awareness of your destructive mental patterns.
