Musicologist Dr. Pop writes an enthralling book about the miracle weapon that is music

We all often feel blue and wonder how to deal with our many problems. But there is a remedy that improves life in the long term, without any risks or side effects. In this book, Dr Pop has collected the most astonishing findings and describes how music makes us smarter, happier and more human.

Did you know, for example, that elderly people who learn to play the piano for the first time suddenly become better at parallel parking, that in some places dance classes are available on prescription, and that schools where more music is played have less bullying?

It's true: music saves lives and makes life better.
