88+ Ways Music Can Change Your Life Paperback – June 1, 2015

Music is powerful. It's spiritual. It's a language that everyone understands. AND it's personal. This book is a fantastic collection of stories from the personal experiences people have. It take the reader on a journey across the lives of people from many backgrounds and cultures. I really like the way you get a look through so many windows of different people's lives, and see how music has affected them. Quite an extraordinary way to bring this to a reader. Perfect gift for someone who likes music or short inspirational stories. I am going to use this as a stocking stuffer, and also for those people who are hard to find a gift for.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. This book validates to me just how powerful music can be. I loved reading the stories and seeing how music helped so many through personal situations in their life. If you are a music lover and want to hear how music has helped so many people, this book is for you.

Especially in times when darkness abounds in the world, stories of inspiration, love and healing through music feed our souls. This book captures many stories as told by those whose lives were affected. Easy to pick up anytime you need a lift and read for 10 minutes or a couple hours.

Beautiful, bite-sized, compelling, confessional stories; full of emotions, inspiration, honesty, and heart! Highly recommend for people who love Chicken Soup for the Soul types of anecdotes and stories

Good god, this is boring. “I can’t imagine my life without music”. “Music means the world to me.” Over and over and over and over. 88 times apparently. I was hoping this book maybe made some larger statement or conclusion, but it is just a random collection of middle-school level one-page reports. A few stories are really unique and touching, but the majority are aimless and redundant. Some are poorly written and poorly edited. I am definitely giving this book away to the community book swap.

My grand daughter is a music teacher and loves this book we gave her as a gift. Would recommend it to any music lover or music teacher.

Vincent James and Joann Pierdomenico have created a spectacular phenomenological discourse on the unyielding beauty and power of music. Everlasting is the smile that starts from within! Endearing is each entry. Thanks for this opportunity to share our stories and reflections. Yours, D.S. Manns https://twitter.com/bswmusicfund

Kind of reminds me of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" Book only for music lovers. Loved that there are so many musicians that contributed to this book. I bought several as gifts for my music loving friends.
