Tune Your Brain: Using Music to Manage Your Mind, Body, and Mood

I found this book to be well researched and written well! But do not buy it if you are looking for a bedtime book to read. It's very thorough and the few funny one-liners won't keep you awake. This is for the serious scholar or possibly CAM practitioner. Overall, it's really good though. She really did her homework and it came across well! Buy it if your a musician too, I'm sure you'll get something out of it as well. Good job Elizabeth - give us more! Dr. Joseph Jacobs Ohio

I checked out this book because I was mentioned in a footnote and wanted to know what she said about ME. It turns out that she not only summarized my work well but took an incredibly clear and interesting sweep across the field of music/brain research. It actually works as the utilitarian self-help book but also is an astonishingly useful guide to opening specialized personal inquiries in musical psychology. It's like a survey course you can actually use in real life. I know this stuff, but I'm actually trying it her way and it helps! I wish there were a money book this good so I could get rich--for now I'll have to settle for getting saner and happier. One step at a time, eh?
