Sound Affects

"A fascinating insight into the power of sound."—Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet

"Transformative and a fascinating read; this book will open your ears to the world of sound and change your life."—Steven Bartlett, best-selling author of The Diary of a CEO

“The best manifesto I can gift to those who don’t know why I keep saying sound is so important.”
 —Derek Sivers, author of How to Live, Hell Yeah or No, Your Music and People, Anything You Want and Useful Not True

"Sound is one of our most powerful and consequential senses. Yet we abuse it all the time. Sounds Affects is a necessary antidote to a world of blasting headsets, noisy workplaces, deafening environments and disintegrating listening abilities. Read it with your noise-cancelling headphones on, then take them off and apply what you will have learned: you will experience the world anew."
 —Bruno Giussani, former TED Global Curator

“Julian Treasure doesn’t just explore sound—he makes you hear the world differently. Sound Affects will open your ears, sharpen your mind, and transform the way you experience life.”
