Use Music to Change Your Brain and Get Happier
<p>There's a reason music has mattered to people for thousands of years. Across cultures and generations, we’ve treated it as more than entertainment—as a kind of language that can express what words can’t and help us connect with the meaning and mystery on the right side of our brain.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Office Hours</em>, I explore why that idea has endured and what modern science has to say about it. I also share two simple ways to amplify music’s positive effects, plus four practical strategies for building a music practice that fits your goals—so you can get more out of the music you already love.</p><p>And if you want to dive deeper into the music I love and listen to, go to: <a href="https://www.arthurbrooks.com/playlist"><u>https://www.arthurbrooks.com/playlist</u></a> </p><p>—</p><p><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p><strong>• </strong><a href="http://drinklmnt.com/Arthur" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>LMNT</strong></a>—A science-backed electrolyte drink mix that helps you feel and perform your best, without sugar, artificial ingredients, or gimmicks.
