I can’t wait for the first episode

I have always been passionate about the brain and people, and although I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to be a neurologist I will always be fascinated of this topic. I will never stop seeking stories and information about it. So here I am waiting for more! Because I absolutely loved the trailer.

Great Series!

Amazing and stimulating work by Greenlawn, Indre Viskontas, and the Oliver Sacks Foundation in creating a series that celebrates the work of one of the great minds of our time and continues the discussion.

Fascinating stories, profound conversation, great guests and narration - overall an incredible listen!

I love Ollie Sacks

Better than listening to a fictional story is my opinion about this podcast. I highly recommend anything related to Oliver Sacks. He’s a great writer too. And was a beautiful human soul, doctor, and I imagine friend. I always wanted to meet him.

Changed the way I see the world

This episode- I have cited it repeatedly since I first heard it a few weeks ago. It changes my approach to education, to work, yo social interactions. Everyone’s experience will be different, but, for me, a physician, the information in this episode was revelatory and I am grateful.

wonderful

the series is really fascinating and very compelling. I liked listening to this audio book

Just Incredible

It was reading a Oliver Sacks book again and dive into our brain. Fantastic

Association with my stroke

I just completed The Only Way Out is Through and there was a lot that makes me hopeful.

I get stuck on words with no apparent association with anything. On my bad bad days I stutter and fight significant vocal tremors.

I am excited to try putting words in struggling with to music and see what happens. Regardless of my outcome, I categorically and enthusiastically agree that music is “in our DNA.”

We have all witnessed an infant, animals, and ourselves responding to music. Some hum, others do a little high, animals do their version of a dance, or in some cases the music soothes and/or calms them, dogs howl , and so on.

What an amazing topic and area of study. I am hopeful this Arena of music being “inside” of us mandates exhaustive studies

It’s taken me more than an hour to try and enthusiastically endorse the topic of music being “inside” of Sam of us and how music may help with moods and other maladies.

Genius observations with real world observation and examples of music helping people with real world examples.

Worth a listen—for sure.

phenomenal

really well produced. loved hearing Oliver's voice cut into the episodes. Amazon should consider releasing this to a wide audience. it would be a service to many IMHO
