Healing at the Speed of Sound: How What We Hear Transforms Our Brains and Our Lives

Based on over a decade of new research, Don Campbell, bestselling author of The Mozart Effect, and Alex Doman, an expert in the practical application of sound and listening, show how we can use music — and silence — to become more efficient, productive, relaxed, and healthy. Each chapter focuses on a single aspect of everyday life, providing advice, exercises, wide-ranging playlists, and links so listeners can use the music they love to create the perfect soundtrack for any goal or task. Also included are “Sound Profiles” — brief stories showing how real people creatively tap the power of sound to improve their own and others’ lives. Inspiring, practical, and truly enjoyable, Healing at the Speed of Sound opens the door to a fuller, richer, and much more harmonious life.
