As the dawn of a new era in mental health treatment emerges, Matt Zemon’s best selling book, “Psychedelics for Everyone: A Beginner’s Guide to These Powerful Medicines for Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, PTSD, and Expanding Consciousness” invites readers to explore the revolutionary potential of psychedelic medicine. Challenging long-held stigmas and providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, Zemon’s work has become a vital resource for those interested in the burgeoning field of psychedelic therapy.
In “Psychedelics for Everyone,” Zemon combines rigorous investigative research with compelling personal accounts, shedding light on the history, scientific advancements, and cultural implications of psychedelic medicine. The book delves into the potential of psychedelics to treat a wide range of mental health conditions, from depression and anxiety to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction, as well as their ability to foster personal growth and self-discovery.
Throughout the book, Matt Zemon offers information and facts about the history, uses, benefits, types, and effects of psychedelics on human consciousness and various psychological challenges. The book became popular among readers mainly because it demystifies the science behind these powerful substances and shares the transformative experiences of those who have benefited from their use, going against conventional wisdom, opinions, and attitudes regarding psychedelics and hallucinogens. By October 2022, the book had become an Amazon bestseller in 19 categories, including mental health, depression, counseling and psychology, alternative medicine, experimental psychology, and spirituality.
After experiencing a profound personal transformation through the use of psychedelics in 2019, Zemon’s perception and worldview shifted dramatically. His newfound understanding diverged from the mainstream narrative surrounding these substances, and he became deeply interested in the effects of psychedelics on human consciousness. As a result, Zemon began researching psychedelics, and later advocating for the legal use of psychedelics to address various psychological issues, improve mental health, and increase connectivity with a higher power, as defined by each individual.
Zemon is an author and psychedelic advocate who has combined his research, personal experiences, and acquired knowledge to create a platform and write a book about these powerful substances. Throughout his career, Zemon has pursued education and expertise to support his advocacy work and professional endeavors.
Born on July 10, 1972, in Philadelphia, PA, Zemon completed his early education in Havertown before earning a BA in leadership studies from the University of Richmond in 1994. He further expanded his skill set by completing a three-year Entrepreneurial Master’s Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012. In 2020, Zemon participated in the Rao Institute’s creativity and personal mastery course, a professional training and coaching program.
Driven by his passion for understanding human consciousness and the role of psychedelics, Zemon pursued an MSc degree with honors in psychology and neuroscience of mental health from King’s College London in 2022. This degree provided him with the foundational knowledge and expertise necessary to effectively research and promote the therapeutic potential of psychedelics in modern medicine.
Prior to 2019, Zemon had limited experience with drugs, having only used cannabis occasionally. However, after trying psilocybin, his perspective shifted dramatically. A seasoned entrepreneur and business executive, Zemon had established and led numerous companies before transitioning into speaking and writing to promote the use of psychedelics as a catalyst for positive change.
Zemon began his entrepreneurial journey in 1996 by founding Red Sky Productions, an entertainment company dedicated to showcasing American Indian talent. In 2001, he established a marketing agency, the Brand Foundry, and served as its president until 2004. The serial entrepreneur then co-founded Bulk TV & Internet in 2004, a private cable operations company providing turnkey and affordable TV and IT solutions to the hospitality industry, assisted living organizations, and residential complexes. In 2006, Zemon founded Bernard, an outsourcing, offshoring, billing, and call center service provider, where he currently serves as the CEO. Zemon also served as Chief Operating Officer of LiveAnswer, which was sold to Stericycle in 2016
As his interest in psychedelics grew, Zemon co-founded Psychable in 2021, an online community designed to connect professionals working with legal psychedelics, and served as its Chief Strategy Officer. In 2022, he co-founded HAPPŸŸ, a telemedicine and mental health platform aimed at increasing access to positive outcomes through psychedelic-assisted ketamine therapy.
In 2022, Zemon authored and published his book, Psychedelics for Everyone. The book serves as a guide for individuals interested in learning about the use and benefits of psychedelics in mental health treatment. Readers can gain insights into various psychedelics and their impact on human consciousness, anxiety, stress, PTSD, depression, and overall emotional well-being. The book also provides guidance on how to safely use psychedelics while understanding their risks, benefits, uses, and effects on human consciousness.
As the dialogue around mental health continues to evolve and the psychedelic renaissance gains momentum, Matt Zemon and Psychedelics for Everyone stand as both an agent of change and a blueprint for a more compassionate and enlightened approach to healing. Matt Zemon’s book broadens the understanding and awareness of psychedelics, offering an alternative perspective to mainstream viewpoints.
