B Sharp!: Your personal music journey to expand the mind, enhance the brain, and age well
B Sharp! . . . A musical journey for the brain
Part Magical Mystery Tour, part personal empowerment guide, B Sharp! is a book for everyone — from those who are “amusical" to professional musicians.
Unique from other music-brain books, the storytelling style of B Sharp! guides readers on a personal journey to improve the brain by expanding the mind through musical choices.
Philip Maffetone explains how music saved his life — and can save yours too, by quickly rewiring and reorganizing the brain. This process can continue over the entire course of a lifetime. It can even help you grow new neurons, easily manipulate states of consciousness, and communicate with the subconsciousness. Not only can this evolution help us be better humans, but it can also lead to an improved society and maybe even save the planet.
Maffetone, a former clinician who pioneered various breakthroughs in biofeedback, nutrition and exercise, and authored many books, textbooks and scientific research papers, awoke one day with the overwhelming desire to become a songwriter. This yearning to dive into music led him on an almost mystical exploration, which included making connections with some of the music industry’s leading influencers and touring the world to share songs and teach about the power of music to improve the brain and body.
In B Sharp! many simple self-care approaches are presented with various music and clinical overlaps tailored to fit the reader’s needs. These include a Five-Minute Power Break that is not unlike deep mediation, as well as other exercises using music to help improve brain function.
Also included is instruction for how to recognize songs that can help us most, and those which can harm us — especially junk music. Maffetone explores the link between personality traits and musicality, how certain foods and natural drugs impact the brain, and the latest science behind cannabis, psychedelics and health.
Music’s powerful movement connection is an important theme. In sports and exercise, knowing when, what, and where to use music is vital for better performance, emphasizing why to avoid it during exercise.
There is even a chapter on using music to heal the heart.
This holistic approach takes us beyond music therapy to help broaden our personalities, improve memory and creativity, and even address common brain injuries, which many are not even aware they have. Infused with creative and clinical gems, and part autobiographical — you’ll also see yourself in B Sharp! This individualized music-brain-body biofeedback book is a must read.
