What makes life resonate Music has the power to move us, enrich our lives, and touch us deep inside. It is the universal language that connects us with people all over the world. But music can do so much more. Ullrich Fichtner, award-winning SPIEGEL journalist and passionate music lover, has set out to explore the essence and transformative power of music. His conversations with musicians, scientists, and physicians reveal that music not only makes us more balanced and happier, but also demonstrably enhances our intelligence and social skills. Even entire societies can benefit from its potential, as its use makes public spaces more relaxed, prisons less conflict-ridden, dementia patients more serene, and premature babies healthier. A true reading pleasure that shows how we can not only enjoy the power of music, but also use it - throughout our lives. biography Ullrich Fichtner, born in 1965, is a reporter for Der Spiegel.
