Healing At The Speed Of Sound

The click of keys on a typewriter. The buzz of cars outside your window. The sound of silence. Sound is everywhere, it is universal and it is one of the most powerful tools you have access to in your life. From your morning commute to your workout mix, to the last sounds you hear as you fall asleep, sound can vastly impact your emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being — in both positive and negative ways.

There has been a tremendous amount of research that examines how music and sound affects us on a daily basis, both mentally and physically. Alex Doman, CEO of Advanced Brain Technologies and best selling author Don Campbell have taken this research and written a brand new book called Healing at the Speed of Sound(TM).

Inside they show you how to use the right sound prescription to:

-Be more focused and productive at work
-Decrease stress and speed recovery times
-Improve the lives of Alzheimer’s patients
-Enhance your child’s social, physical and academic functioning

Now, when I found out that Alex was releasing the book, I asked him to get on the phone with me for a one on one interview, and you can listen to it below.

Interview With Alex Doman

Like it or not, you absorb myriad sounds every day. Some sounds may irritate you – like the lawn mower or a car alarm – and other sounds may soothe you – like your favorite song as you drive home from work.

Research has proven that sound can vastly impact your emotional, spiritual, and physical health—in BOTH positive and negative ways. So wouldn’t you prefer to maximize the healing BENEFITS of sound in your day-to-day life?

Recent studies show that music and sound can even be more powerful than medicine if you have the right “sound prescription.” The great advantage of sound lies in its absolute pervasiveness—it permeates your life, and it’s available almost everywhere you go.  Music is an inexpensive way to give yourself a lift, a boost, and a little JOY that can go a long way for your health.

Introducing the new book Healing at the Speed of Sound: How What We Hear Transforms Our Brains and Our Lives, From Music to Silence and Everything in Between. Bestselling authors Don Campbell and Alex Doman take you through a typical day, demonstrating ways in which you can put both sound and silence to work—thereby enhancing your waking routine, morning commute, work experience, family time, social activities, overall health and sleep.

Healing at the Speed of Sound will show you how sound and music can help you:

•    Get more out of your daily fitness routine
•    Decrease stress, improve productivity, and create a collegial environment at the workplace
•    Use music-related therapy and games to improve your child’s social, physical, and academic performance
•    Reduce stress, speed up recovery times, and enhance many different forms of physical therapy
•    Improve the lives of the elderly, including those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia
•    Help you recover from illness or surgery

Each chapter focuses on a single aspect of everyday life, providing advice, exercises, wide-ranging playlists, and links so you can combine the music you love with new genres and artists to create the perfect soundtrack for any goal or task. Also included are inspiring “Sound Profiles”― brief true stories illustrating how others have used the power of sound to get healthy, or just get happy!
