About this listen
Why are we lonelier than ever despite having infinite music at our fingertips? The answer lies in something neuroscientists call "brain-to-brain coupling"—and it's the missing ingredient in your Spotify playlist.
This week, we explore the Social Brain Hypothesis and discover why passive listening can't cure loneliness. We look at the groundbreaking hyperscanning research showing what happens when humans make music together (hint: your brainwaves literally synchronize). And we reveal why the modern music industry has created the largest service failure in human wellness history.
The solution isn't more playlists. It's reclaiming your 60,000-year-old birthright.
Next week: The Musicably Musicking Pyramid—your complete nutritional guide to musical health.
