The final chapter in Don Campbell and Alex Doman’s book, Healing at the Speed of Sound, provides several interesting points about a personal sound diet. As a musician, I found many of the points very relatable to my training and experiences. Here are a few I found the most relatable. One of the first points of the chapter stresses how listening is subjective. Especially in music, listening to a certain kind of music can have an effect on you posture, mood, and emotion. This change can be small and unnoticeable or very noticeable. On my car rides, my mood is boosted if I blast some country music and roll the windows down. When I need to crack down on papers or studying I put on some classical yoga music from Pandora.
