Super interesting. Music has so much influence, inspiring nostalgia, excitement, love, and so many emotions through sounds. Would love to learn more about why.

@rrhoover the book hits on all those things. I was blown away by how much of the brain is involved in listening to a piece of music. One of my favorite things from the book is a section when the author asks if the word "at" is in the Star Spangled Banner. Try figuring it out and you most likely recite the song in your head from the beginning, but more quickly than someone would perform it, but still roughly in key! And nobody can just stop at the word "at," they end up finishing the phrase "at the twilight's last gleaming" in their head. The processing power of the human brain is insane.

I discovered this book when re-listening to the @tferriss podcast with @boreta called Productivity Secrets of a Master DJ. As a musician who has been getting back into music production lately, this book was a great Audible listen during my commute.
