The Practical Stoic Podcast With Simon Drew

Adriana Barton is a journalist, a former staff reporter at The Globe and Mail, and the author of Wired for Music: A Search for Health and Joy Through the Science of Sound. Her book, published by Greystone Books in October 2022, is a blend of science and memoir that argues that music is an age-old system to boost human health, connect us to each other, and add meaning, resilience, and joy. Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, Barton's book has received critical acclaim, with Publishers Weekly calling it "witty and soulful," and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score, describing it as "beautifully written" and "riveting."
