Description
Music has long been used to heal and comfort, but what exactly is its power? Neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the deep connections between music and healing, revealing the complex ways in which sound can affect our minds and bodies.
In this insightful book, Levitin delves into the latest research on music's impact on our health and wellbeing, from the science of sound to the therapeutic benefits of music-making. With clarity and accessibility, he explains how music can be used to treat a range of conditions, from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and addiction.
Part science, part memoir, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of music and medicine, and the ways in which they intersect. With his characteristic wit and authority, Levitin shows how music can be a powerful tool for healing, and how it can transform our lives in profound ways.
