I Heard There Was A Secret Chord: Music as Medicine by Daniel J. Levitin
4.0
Publisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
One of Smithsonian’s 10 Best Science Books of 2024
Neuroscientist and New York Times best-selling author of This Is Your Brain on Music Daniel J. Levitin reveals the deep connections between music and healing.
Music is one of humanity’s oldest medicines. From the Far East to the Ottoman Empire, Europe to Africa and the pre-colonial Americas, many cultures have developed their own rich traditions for using sound and rhythm to ease suffering, promote healing, and calm the mind.
MY THOUGHTS
The author read the audiobook and that helped me to digest the information more easily. Though I did feel bogged down with info on occasion, I came away with the core points I wanted from the book. Music used as therapy can help to heal certain conditions, and to help others, such as reducing blood pressure and helps in controlling diabetes, or calming dementia.
A very interesting subject.
