I've read this book twice and really enjoyed it, but I was just wondering about the credibility. Have people read it here and what are your thoughts? What other books should I look into for a deeper understanding?

Another book I've read is "How Shostakovich Changed My Mind" by Stephen Johnson, which is about how music helped him with bipolar disorder and other mental health issues. I feel this one might be less likely for other people to have read here but I decided to put that out here anyways. It was entertaining and I recommend it!

Thanks
