Synopsis
Furthering the ideas he put forth in his previous book, the bestseller THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON MUSIC, psychologist and neuroscientist Daniel Levitin brilliantly connects the history of music with the history of human development, illustrating how every song in existence can be classified into one of six categories which demonstrate the core paths of our cultural evolution. Levitin defines the six types of music by the benevolent concept they address--friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion or love. He then shows how each of these types represents a cultural development which enhanced people's ability to bond with one another and thus enabled our evolution into a human society. Levitin combines remarkably lucid descriptions of neural processes and cognitive science with thoughtful discussions of the ineffable energy of music and interviews with intellectual music legends like Sting and David Byrne.

Industry Reviews
"A musician and former record producer who still pals around with the likes of Sting and David Byrne, Levitin no runs the Laboratory for Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise at McGill University....the extent that THE WORLD IN SIX SONGS suceeds, it works much like a great piece of pop music..."
