Why Music Moves Us
A book that argues music is not entertainment. It’s a biological stimulus with documented physiological effects, a property of physical reality that predates anything with ears. We may not have invented music so much as found it.

“The result is a fascinating mix of scientific theory, musical analysis, and personal history that never feels dry or didactic.”
“His humility and curiosity make the book feel more like a shared reflection than a lecture, even as the studies he cites indicate a clear understanding of the science behind sound.”
“This moving, incisive book is a great reminder of music’s power as a universal connector.”
