Though used as a healing practice for centuries, only recently have we begun to unravel the science behind music's profound impact on the mind and body. In this book, neuroscientist Stefan Koelsch explores the groundbreaking research behind music's influence on human wellbeing: emotional, physical, and psychological. Beginning with an account of the human brain's innate capacity for music, Koelsch explains music's potential to evoke emotions and change our moods, soothe anxiety and alleviate pain. Featuring case studies, he documents the potential of music therapy for a wide range of conditions like depression, stroke recovery, and Alzheimer's. Filled with fascinating science and concrete tips and strategies, this book encourages anyone to harness the power of music for personal growth, healing, and joy.
