This is your Brain on Music is a book from the author of The Changing Mind and THe Organized Mind. A New York Times bestseller, this book explains the relationship between our brains and the humanly obsession of music that the author argues is more fundamental to our species than language.
Neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally-bestselling author Daniel Levitin asks 'what do the music of Bach, Depeche Mode and John Cage fundamentally have in common?' He discusses how music has impacted human evolution, analyses how our musical preferences form even before birth and explains how music affects our emotions.
Levitin provides a new understanding of music and how it can be a tool for learning about ourselves.
