<p><b>THE INSTANT <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BESTSELLER<br>A <i>FINANCIAL TIMES </i>AND <i>TELEGRAPH </i>BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025</b><br><br><b>From the bestselling author of <i>This Is Your Brain on Music</i> and <i>The Organized Mind</i>, a surprising and inspiring exploration of the healing power of music.</b><br><br><b>'Fascinating' <i>OBSERVER</i><br>'Essential' <i>WALL STREET JOURNAL</i><br>'Intriguing' <i>GUARDIAN</i></b><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>_<br><b>'Levitin presents a strong, evidence-based case for how music heals, alleviating pain, reducing anxiety and even aiding recovery from strokes or Parkinson's. It's a compelling blend of anecdote and rigorous science, revealing in detail how music harnesses the brain.' Books of the Year, <i>FINANCIAL TIMES</i></b></p>
