Daniel Levitin
Daniel Levitin, neuroscientist and music producer, dismantles the notion that music is mere entertainment. In "This Is Your Brain on Music," he maps exactly how melodies rewire our neurochemistry, triggering dopamine and serotonin release with measurable precision. Levitin demonstrates that a single song can function as a deliberate intervention against stress, anxiety, and physical pain. The book transforms passive listening into an active therapeutic practice, turning your playlist into a tool for cognitive enhancement.
