Integrative Health through Music Therapy: Accompanying the Journey from Illness to Wellness by Suzanne B. Hanser
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.

It's not because the book is bad. In fact, it's very recommended for anyone who's keen in pursuing the job as music therapist because the author has written comprehensively about the usage of music as healing tool, the challenge of being a music therapist and how to overcome it, useful tips when doing therapy session, etc. 

So... why?

Well, let me reveal the little secret.

At first, I was interested in taking my master's degree in music therapy at first. So, I decided to read this book in order to deepen my knowledge. As the time went by and as I reflected deeper, I realized that becoming a music therapist isn't my true calling.
And.... You already know the next step I took: I put this book on my DNF list. 😊
