How We Listen
I recently read an interesting book called “How We Decide” by Jonah Lehrer. In a nutshell, it broke down the human decision-making process into decisions made with our rational brain versus decisions made with our emotional brain. The book was very interesting reading, going through various situations (from selecting strawberry jam to attempting to crash-land a plane) and talked about how decisions were made in those situations.
While reading, I began to think about how we listen to music and what parts of the brain we use while listening. What strikes me most is how much that differs from person to person…
