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

by Don Campbell, Alex Doman

Overview

Use the music you love to become more efficient, relaxed, healthy, and happy.

At this very moment, you are surrounded by sound. Pause for a minute and try to listen to it all: the chatter of a passing conversation, the gentle whoosh of air vents, noise from a nearby street. We rarely pay attention to all that we hear, but every noise in our environment has the ability to affect our mood, our productivity, even our health--for better and for worse.

Drawing on a decade's worth of groundbreaking brain science and research, bestselling author Don Campbell and sound expert Alex Doman's Healing at the Speed of Sound(R) provides practical advice, exercises, and over 100 interactive links that help you create the perfect soundtrack for every task and enjoy a full, rich, and truly harmonious life.

From the Publisher

Sounds have a profound impact on our daily lives, moods, relationships, and more. Jim Bond reads at an easy pace. His presentation of information showing how managing the sounds around you can help you to improve physical, emotional, and mental health is easily accessible and generally conclusory. However, designed to take advantage of the technology of e-books, with active links to additional material, this book is not as well suited to audio. With approximately 80 links, it is much like listening to a heavily footnoted book—without the benefit of the footnotes. Moreover, for a book on the influence of sound, one sound in particular, the one that signals links, is jarring and is reminiscent of audio feedback from a microphone.
