evidence is in: music is not just entertainment. It is medicine for body and soul. Unifying Eastern wisdom and the latest scientific research on everything from illness to creativity, The Mozart Effect is the definitive book on the astonishing powers of music -- from Mozart to jazz, New Age, Latin and even rock -- to heal the body, mind and spirit. Stimulating, authoritative and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect offers dramatic accounts of how doctors, shamans, musicians and others use music to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia and even mental illness. For example, the director of a Baltimore hospital's coronary care unit has found that half an hour of classical music produces the same effect as 10 milligrams of Valium. And students who sing or play an instrument score up to 51 points higher on SATs than the national average. Drawing on personal experience and the uplifting stories of dozens of ordinary men and women, Campbell shows us how to put the healing powers of music into action. He describes the transforming effects of toning, chanting, mantras, rap and other self-generated sounds. (One woman used toning in the recovery room after surgery for a brain tumor and needed no pain medication.) And he recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow exercises to help you raise your spatial IQ, sound away pain, boost creativity and make the spirit sing.
