Summary

"Why We Love Music" by Carl E. Seashore is a deep study into the world of music and human connection. The book questions why people love music, looking at the science behind our feelings and actions when we listen. It shows how music isn't just about hearing sounds; it's a basic need in our bodies that helps us share feelings and connect with others. The exploration starts with understanding how our bodies react to sound and then the book explains that to truly appreciate music, we must consider our natural talents, growing up and how music brings us together.
