I Heard There Was A Secret Chord by Daniel J. Levitin
Combining neuroscience, psychology, history and vivid anecdote, this book explores how music shapes the brain, stirs emotion, and binds communities: it explains the cognitive and evolutionary roots of pitch, rhythm and harmony, surveys cross‑cultural musical practices, and shows how songs function as memory aids, social glue, and vehicles for identity and healing, using scientific studies and human stories to illuminate why music is a universal and powerful part of human life.
