this is your brain on music daniel j levitin

From the author of The Changing Mind and The Organized Mind comes The New York Times bestseller which unravels the mystery of our perennial love affair with music***** What do the music of Bach, Depeche Mode and John Cage fundamentally have in common? Music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, even more fundamental to our species than language. From Mozart to the Beatles, neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally-bestselling author Daniel Levitin reveals the role of music in human evolution, shows how our musical preferences begin to form even before we are born and explains why music can offer such an emotional experience.In This Is Your Brain On Music Levitin offers nothing less than a new way to understand music, and what it can teach us about ourselves. ***** Music seems to have an almost wilful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, so that the more we find out, the more there is to know . . . Daniel Levitin s book is an eloquent and poetic exploration of this paradox Sting You ll never hear music in the same way again Classic FM magazine Music, Levitin argues, is not a decadent modern diversion but something of fundamental importance to the history of human development Literary Review

This Is Your Body on Trauma is the first book to teach readers how to use nutrition to heal underlying trauma that presents in physical symptoms. It features a unique do-it-yourself approach, allowing people to completely customize their care plan.Trauma is pervasive, and recovery usually involves extensive talk therapy. What is often overlooked is using nutrition as a way to restore a sense of safety and self-trust. Research shows between 75 and 90 percent of physician visits are due to the wear and tear on the body from stress hormones. The gut is often our first indicator that something is awry; it is the watchtower raising the alarm, and the existence of trauma can create a negative feedback loop with the brain that leads to several quite common gut-brain axis complaints, such as anxiety, depression, IBS, and pain. More than “just” a nutrition book, This Is Your Body on Trauma helps people make connections between what is going on in their mind and body with a unique 360-degree integrative approach to mental health. Using a unique, customizable approach, readers are given a series of experiments based on recommendations, formulating their needs and providing actionable solutions to lessen the perception of stress with nutrition. This book will help people who have experienced traumatic events as both a child and an adult, those who experience chronic stress, as well as people who have experienced food trauma heal and manage the physiological impacts of that trauma throughout their lives. The experiments provided in the book can be done in collaboration with a therapy or nutrition provider. This book is the only one that discusses not only nutrition for trauma (what to eat), but also applies it in a trauma-informed way (how to eat to avoid triggers).

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind, a surprising and inspiring exploration of the healing power of music. Fascinating Observer Fun and thoughtful Financial Times Eye-opening Rolling StoneWe are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. In recent years, a wave of scientific research has upended everything we once knew about its effects on our brains: not only in reducing stress, but also in enhancing cognitive function, slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinsonâ ™s and Alzheimerâ ™s, even strengthening our immune systems.Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician introduces a bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies. From explaining how â ˜rhythmic auditory stimulationâ ™ can fight multiple sclerosis, to examining why Tracy Chapmanâ ™s songs might just help cure PTSD, Professor Daniel Levitin offers surprising insights into the new science of music as medicine.Along the way, he explores how each of us can use music to calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. The result is both a surprising tour through the science of music, and a joyful celebration of humanityâ ™s oldest obsession._ For many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the ability, even without words, to make the listener cry and become emotional. Although I know this happens to me and many people, I have often wondered how this can be. Dr Levitin, in this latest book, Music as Medicine, has some fascinating insights into this great phenomenon.

Nejnovější neurovědecké výzkumy naznačují zcela nový způsob uvažování o stárnutí - o paměti, systémech vnímání, inteligenci, dokonce i o motivaci, bolesti a našem společenském životě. Daniel J.

Když jsou starší lidé při ohlédnutí se za svým životem požádáni, aby řekli, kdy byli nejšťastnější, co asi řeknou? Možná v osmi letech, kdy měli málo starostí? Možná v pubertě, kdy se věnovali všem možným aktivitám a objevování sexu? Možná když chodili na vysokou nebo v prvních letech, kdy zakládali rodinu? Špatně. Věk, který se nejčastěji objevuje jako nejšťastnější období života, je osmdesát dva let! Cílem této knihy je pomoci prodloužit toto číslo o deset nebo dvacet let. Věda říká, že to jde.

Současná informační doba nás zahlcuje nebývalou záplavou nejrůznějších informací. Zároveň se od nás očekává, že budeme o svých životech rozhodovat zodpovědně a rychleji než kdykoli jindy v lidské historii. Není proto divu, že běžní lidé velice často uvádí, že neustále ztrácí klíče od auta či brýle, že nestíhají schůzky a že se cítí vyčerpanější než dříve. Velkou námahu je stojí pouze udržet krok s neustálými změnami a novými podněty. Někteří výjimeční lidé ale tento tok informací zvládnout dokáží a získávají tím oproti jiným velkou výhodu. V knize Organizovaná mysl doktor Daniel J. Levitin představuje nejnovější poznatky z kognitivní neurovědy, na kterých ukazuje, čím úspěšní lidé vynikají a díky jakým metodám se to mohou naučit opravdu všichni. Často stačí pouze změnit způsob, jakým si organizujeme domov, pracoviště a volný čas. V mnoha zábavných kapitolách začínajících od organizace kuchyňské zásuvky k různému harampádí, přes péči o vlastní zdraví k novým pracovním postupům v kancelářích odhaluje praktické použití těchto výzkumů. Kniha Organizovaná mysl ukazuje, jak se s neurovědeckou perspektivou orientovat v přívalu informací v jednadvacátém století a čelit výzvám našeho každodenního života. Tento text pojednává o nejrůznějších aspektech uspořádání naší mysli. Probereme historii organizačních systémů, vyzkoušených lidmi v průběhu staletí, abychom viděli, které z nich uspěly, které ne a proč. Vysvětlíme si, proč vůbec věci ztrácíme a jak se tomu snaží bránit ti chytřejší a svědomitější. Připomeneme si, jak jsme si věci osvojovali v dětství a jak to můžeme využít i dnes. Lepší organizace času, nám pomůže nejen k vyšším výkonům, ale poskytne nám i víc prostoru na zábavu, hry, blízké vztahy a tvořivost.

What if every time you had a self-critical thought, you heard it in a man s voice? The truth is not far off. Living in a patriarchy, women absorb a lifetime of messages that say your worth is defined by your looks, your accomplishments, and how well you take care of everyone around you. In fact, these messages are so pervasive that, even knowing they exist, they still manage to program themselves into our brains. The result is that women end up feeling anxious, guilty, and vaguely ashamed of themselves no matter how much they do for others or achieve for themselves. So how do we deprogram our thoughts from patriarchy s corrosive influence? And once we do, how can we create new, self-empowering beliefs? Master Certified Life Coach and host of the UnF*ck Your Brain podcast Kara Loewentheil knows how. Despite graduating from Harvard Law School and getting her dream job, Kara spent her twenties and thirties feeling insecure and anxious, until she learned how to change her thoughts. In Take Back Your Brain, she draws on cognitive psychology, feminist theory, and years of experience as a neuroplasticity-focused coach to break down how the patriarchy hijacks women s brains, and how women can get free. To bridge the gap between your inner voice and your true potential, she says, you must begin with your thoughts. By using the skills in this book to literally rewire your brain, you can create new thought patterns that will directly transform outcomes in your life. Ultimately, Take Back Your Brain invites you to replace the thoughts that no longer serve you and make room for a kind of confidence you never thought possible.

This comedic journey through science history explores ten mind-bending accidents and experiments that take us inside the brain to discover how it works. Written by professor of neuroscience Caswell Barry, together with his good friend, the children s author Lucy Ann Unwin, Inside Your Brain takes readers on an irreverent gallop through history to uncover ten groundbreaking discoveries that led to our current understanding of how the brain works. The human brain is famously complex and difficult to understand. The brain is also essential to how we function â “ so much so, that you can t simply poke a stick at it to see what happens. However, if someone accidentally pokes a stick through their own brain, there s a lot we can learn... The ancient Egyptians discovered in battle that the brain was more important than they d thought; Luigi Galvani sent electric shocks through dead frogs legs and uncovered how brain cells work; Phineas Gage s unfortunate accident on the railroads revealed that you can survive a metal rod through the head because the brain operates using separate regions; while some unwitting kittens helped us understand how our brain develops. This book also touches on our present and future potential to continue testing the brain, such as how we can learn an enormous amount about how the brain processes information from AI, without experimenting on a human subject. This entertaining and engaging deep dive into the most mind-boggling area of science is sure to fascinate and delight young readers.

Creative arts professions (music, media, and performance) remain in a period of flux. As the music industry and related fields adapt to changing business models, student interest in training for a career in the entertainment sector continues to rise. Though the expansion of global degree offerings in the creative industries expands each year, a state of the field on educational and pedagogical issues in the music business and the creative industries has yet to be created. Creative arts research encompasses a broad range of sectors in the music and entertainment industries; among these subfields include performance, technology, entrepreneurship, marketing, and social justice. Globally, formal training for such pathways happens most often in higher education.The Handbook provides a practical and engaging resource for faculty, staff, administrators, graduate students, and industry members working on the front lines in teaching and learning. It presents a wide range of global perspectives from academics, BIPOC voices, and ECRs from the United States, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Canada. Another factor that affects HE stakeholders is the absence of a versatile resource on the teaching and learning issues in music business and related fields. While The Handbook avoids overly prescriptive models of teaching and learning, the volume includes topical research through case studies, ethnographies, and a thorough cross-section of qualitative and quantitative methods. Such a resource may be germane particularly to educators transitioning from industry to faculty appointments in HE. Authors are encouraged to draw from their expertise and use narrative analysis to support their perspectives.
