The concept of the Pulse is the summation and culmination of Dr. John Diamond’s forty years of experience in medicine, psychiatry, complementary medicine, the humanities and music. Like the Tao, the Way, it signifies the movement of life from which all things flow. Here, Dr. Diamond applies this concept, encouraging each of us to play the drums to enhance our sense of how the Pulse actually feels. For once we feel this movement in music, we can increasingly feel it in other aspects of life. This book represents a major step forward in our understanding of drumming as a therapeutic modality and life-enhancing practice, for it is knit together by an underlying philosophy that embraces all of music and healing. Dr. John Diamond, M.D., is the author of sixteen books, including two best-sellers, and past President of the International Academy of Preventive Medicine. As the Founder of The Institute for Music and Health, he has investigated, researched and applied many factors in the musician and his instruments in an attempt to maximize music's therapeutic power. He has taught countless musicians and artists, and his knowledge extends to all genres of music, especially classical and jazz. More Reviews and Recommendations
