In Music and the Mind, renowned psychiatrist Anthony Storr confronts one of humanity's most enduring mysteries — the extraordinary power of music over the human psyche — arguing that music is not a mere cultural ornament but a fundamental biological and psychological necessity.\n\nStorr draws on a commanding breadth of disciplines, from neuroscience and evolutionary biology to musicology and philosophy, to construct a rigorous and illuminating case for music's central role in human development and emotional life. His prose is lucid and authoritative, making complex scientific and aesthetic arguments accessible without sacrificing intellectual depth. The result is a work that permanently alters how one listens — leaving the reader to wonder whether, in understanding music, we might finally begin to understand ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130624483547,"sku":"2026200010070-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f5a29263-5585-4fbf-a74a-3084af0325bf.png?v=1786587775","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010070-secondhand-music-and-the-mind","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
