I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine by Daniel J. Levitin

informative

3.5

I learned a lot in this book. I already have experienced personal benefits of music therapy , but learning about actual specific examples was validating and awesome. I’m excited for the future of music therapy. I do feel this book did at times get a bit more complex and detailed than it had to. This made it loose my interest a few times. If i had been reading an ebook or physical book I might have skimmed these sections but with the audio that wasn’t practical. I will say the audiobook is actually a better format for this book though, because the author can hum and play certain musical sequences that emphasize points he is making. This really added to my understanding and I really enjoyed his narration. I received an advanced readers copy from netgalley, but my review is unbiased
