Summary of Dr. Peter Silverstone's The Promise of Psychedelics

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Low self-esteem is the opposite of high self-esteem. It is a state of mind that corrodes mental health. It is difficult to change, and many people have it. It is often linked to emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, trauma, neglect, or bullying.

#2 My passion to improve self-esteem started early in my psychiatry training, when I was still in medical school. I had traveled to Burlington, Vermont in 1981 for some specialized training in endocrinology, which is the study of hormones.

#3 I once treated a teenage girl named Anna who was deeply unhappy. Her mother, who was a therapist, was encouraging her to be sick so her father would stay with her. Anna’s mother was also negative about her daughter, constantly putting her down.

#4 I believe that low self-esteem is an underlying factor for many other conditions. It is alarmingly common, and yet we have yet to find a way of improving it. If we could improve self-esteem, particularly in youth and young adults, we may be able to transform the lives of millions.
