Named one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2022 by Boston Globe and Literary Hub\nA legendary record producer–turned–brain scientist explains why you fall in love with music. 
This Is What It Sounds Like is a journey into the science and soul of music that reveals the secrets of why your favorite songs move you. But it’s also a story of a musical trailblazer who began as a humble audio tech in Los Angeles, rose to become Prince’s chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then created other No. 1 hits ,including Barenaked Ladies' "One Week," as one of the most successful female record producers of all time. 
Now an award-winning professor of cognitive neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads readers to musical self-awareness. She explains that we each possess a unique “listener profile” based on our brain’s natural response to seven key dimensions of any song. Are you someone who prefers lyrics or melody? Do you like music “above the neck” (intellectually stimulating), or “below the neck” (instinctual and rhythmic)? Whether your taste is esoteric or mainstream, Rogers guides readers to recognize their musical personality, and offers language to describe one's own unique taste. Like most of us, Rogers is not a musician, but she shows that all of us can be musical―simply by being an active, passionate listener. 
While exploring the science of music and the brain, Rogers also takes us behind the scenes of record-making, using her insider’s ear to illuminate the music of Prince, Frank Sinatra, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, and many others. She shares records that changed her life, contrasts them with those that appeal to her coauthor and students, and encourages you to think about the records that define your own identity. 
Told in a lively and inclusive style, This Is What It Sounds Like will refresh your playlists, deepen your connection to your favorite artists, and change the way you listen to music. 3 black-and-white photographs; 7 infographics; 2 illustrations

Gifts is a vibrant and much needed book in today’s society. At a time when people across our nation, who have found a relationship with God and want to serve Him, it is so important that we find our place in the body of Christ as revealed through the personality of God, His Holy Spirit.
This book will take you on a grand biblical journey of God’s gifts of grace and their motivational implications. It will also help you realize that God’s Holy Spirit wants to supernaturally empower you well beyond the limitations of what you think your talents are, and beyond what any psychological or personality profile might point you toward.
"This book will show you that your potential in God is limitless when you activate the gifts of grace operating in your life. This is not a book based on experience, or anecdote, or theory. Instead, this is the compilation and revelation in a life dedicated and submitted to the fullness of the Gospel." — Pastor Tommy Barnett, Phoenix First Assembly of God
