Music as Medicine: How We Can Harness Its Therapeutic Power

byDaniel Levitin

Neuroscientist and musician Daniel Levitin examines how music affects movement, memory, attention, emotion, and the experience of pain. He brings together scientific studies, clinical stories, and conversations with performers to investigate its possible role in treating neurological conditions and supporting psychological health. The book follows approaches ranging from rhythmic cues for movement to familiar songs that reconnect people with memories. Levitin also considers why making and listening to music are so deeply rooted in human life, presenting music as a subject for careful research as well as everyday enjoyment.
