The Mozart Effect: Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlock the Creative Spirit
Don CampbellAnyone who has ever
seen a two-year-old start bouncing to a beat knows that music speaks to
us on a very deep level. But it took celebrated teacher and music
visionary Don Campbell to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect.
Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect
has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body,
the mind, and the soul. Campbell shows how modern science has begun to
confirm this ancient wisdom, finding evidence that listening to certain
types of music can improve the quality of life in almost every respect.
Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything
from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and
even mental illness.
Always clear and compelling,
Campbell recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow
exercises to raise your spatial IQ, "sound away" pain, boost creativity,
and make the spirit sing!
