If you're interested in how music is related to how your brain works and behaves, you'll want to check out a Spotify podcast episode by
Huberman Lab called
How to Use Music to Boost Motivation, Mood & Improve Learning.
While it is true that many of us probably already understand different ways we benefit from using music while working, maybe we haven't delved into the topic this deeply before. And this goes well beyond just putting on (or turning off?) some music in the background during focused or deep work sessions.
The episode is nearly two hours long, but there is a clickable time-stamped table of contents you can view when you expand the description.
As taken from the description, the episode covers:
"...how your brain and body are fundamentally wired to perceive and respond to music and how those responses can be leveraged to improve your mood, allow for processing sad emotions and enhance learning and performance."
If you're interested in using music as a performance-enhancing tool, this is definitely a must-hear episode.
