Forlagsbeskrivelse af Music as Medicine af Daniel Levitin
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER From the bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind , a surprising and inspiring exploration of the healing power of music. 'Fascinating' Observer 'Fun and thoughtful' Financial Times 'Eye-opening' Rolling Stone We are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. In recent years, a wave of scientific research has upended everything we once knew about its effects on our brains: not only in reducing stress, but also in enhancing cognitive function, slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, even strengthening our immune systems. Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician introduces a bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies. From explaining how 'rhythmic auditory stimulation' can fight multiple sclerosis, to examining why Tracy Chapman's songs might just help cure PTSD, Professor Daniel Levitin offers surprising insights into the new science of music as medicine. Along the way, he explores how each of us can use music to calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. The result is both a surprising tour through the science of music, and a joyful celebration of humanity's oldest obsession. _ 'For many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the ability, even without words, to make the listener cry and become emotional. Although I know this happens to me and many people, I have often wondered how this can be. Dr Levitin, in this latest book, Music as Medicine , has some fascinating insights into this great phenomenon.' Paul McCartney 'It's impossible to read this book without thinking of the music that has meant a lot to you in your own life.' Daily Mail 'A natural communicator - warm, friendly, and geekily enthused about his subject.' Guardian
