Daniel Levitin is back

Just heard this On Point interview with Daniel Levitin, the record producer turned neruoscientist whose last book "This Is Your Brain On Music" was a bestseller and a the subject of a previous post. His new opus is called "The World In Six Songs: How The Musical Brain Created Human Nature." I'm not sure about his theory yet, but he's one of the only voices out there really popularizing views of why music matters beyond the temporary pleasure it brings.
