The artificial noise in our lives is a cluttered field of random and frequently harmful signals. Our lives are filled with sound: heavy-footed neighbors, an ambulance screeching nearby, white noise from the television. Unsurprisingly, the noisy environment in which we live has a tremendous impact on our concentration, alertness, and feelings of anxiety.
To help us manage the debris that hinders our mind and well-being, Bernie Krause whisks us through the practical steps that each one of us can take to reduce the unhealthy noise in our lives and realize the healing powers of certain acoustic encounters. Along the way, we explore the difference between harmful noise and the signals that make us feel good, between noise as a stressor and soundscapes that serve to boost our emotional and physiological health and stimulate our productivity.
By following his suggestions, you'll discover what a wide variety of sound signatures represent; which ones you like, which ones you don't, and why. Thoroughly researched and accessibly crafted, THE POWER OF TRANQUILITY IN A VERY NOISY WORLD will show you how to gain control over your sonic experiences and live a more tranquil and enduring life.
