From the Publisher

Sounds have a profound impact on our daily lives, moods, relationships, and more. Jim Bond reads at an easy pace. His presentation of information showing how managing the sounds around you can help you to improve physical, emotional, and mental health is easily accessible and generally conclusory. However, designed to take advantage of the technology of e-books, with active links to additional material, this book is not as well suited to audio. With approximately 80 links, it is much like listening to a heavily footnoted book—without the benefit of the footnotes. Moreover, for a book on the influence of sound, one sound in particular, the one that signals links, is jarring and is reminiscent of audio feedback from a microphone.
