Summary
Don Campbell: The Mozart Effect
You know that music can affect mood: it can awaken a sense of happiness, delight you, inspire you, wake you up, excite you, invigorate you, comfort you or lead you to sublime rapture. But music has an even more miraculous power than you may have guessed from experience. Music is beneficial - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Certain sounds, tones and rhythms (especially Mozart's works, Gregorian chant, some works of jazz, new age, Latin American music, pop and even rock music) can strengthen the mind, release the creativity of the spirit and, surprisingly, even heal the body. This amazing phenomenon is called the Mozart Effect™. The book "The Mozart Effect" brings stories about doctors, shamans, musicians and health experts who use music to treat all diseases: from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia and even mental illnesses. Music during labor can ease a pregnant woman's anxiety and stimulate the release of endorphins, natural pain-relieving substances produced by the body, significantly reducing the need for anesthesia. The head of the cardiology department at a Baltimore hospital claims that half an hour of listening to classical music has the same effect as ten milligrams of Valium. Regardless of your musical taste, Don Campbell explains in this book how you can use the power of the Mozart effect yourself.
