Transported: The Everyday Magic of Musical Daydreams, (Audiobook)

<p><b>A revelatory work--grounded in the author's own pathbreaking research--that explores the capacity for meaning-making and connection through "musical daydreams."</b></p><p></p><p> We've all had the experience: a song comes on, and suddenly we're not where we were. We're back in the past, or living out a future that never happened, or imagining a scene that never existed. In <i>Transported</i>, Elizabeth Margulis explores the phenomenon of musical daydreams--the vivid, spontaneous, emotionally redolent scenes, stories, and memories we lapse into while listening to music--and argues that these everyday reveries offer a powerful and underappreciated window into how we think and feel. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, psychology, ethnography, and revelations from her own teaching and research, Margulis debunks oversimplified myths and illuminates music's true potential to alleviate anxiety, reignite creativity, and foster connection.</p><p></p><p> At a time when distraction dominates, <i>Transported</i> makes a powerful case for music as one of the last realms where the mind is still free to wander.</p>
