'Musicophilia' by Oliver Sacks deals with similar topics that are present in other literature such as 'The Music Instinct' and 'This Is Your Brain On Music'. However the authors writing style makes things slightly easier to read. He places all the information required to understand how music effects us emotionally and psychologically into short stories of patients whom he tested over the years. This writing style prevents the reading of the topics from becoming a task and rather an entertaining and more natural way to process and learn (the short stories allow for the topics to have associations within your mind).
