I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine by Daniel J. Levitin
informative
slow-paced
2.5
Filled with lots of interesting tidbits of information but lacking any real cohesive thesis. I was going to suggest that each chapter felt like its own independent essay but even within the chapters the author meandered and I never really knew what his point was.
I have a layperson's knowledge of neuroscience from my past reading history and quite a bit of musical theory, so I didn't find any of this too technical it just wasn't all that interesting. The author is very knowledgeable (and sometimes a little self-aggrandizing) I just wish all of his facts and studies cited added up to something more coherent and meaningful.
