Why are the best ideas born in the shower?
It is not just a way of saying: automatic activities (like washing) favor the strokes of genius. You are there intent on inflating the foam of the shampoo when, suddenly, an electrocution: the solution to a problem that has tormented you for a long time comes to mind as if it had always been there.

Music is music, and life without it is like a body without a soul. Cicero’s words. Music is an art form that can truly unite people from distant cultures. When listening to your favorite music, the brain releases dopamine, the “pleasure hormone” associated with eating, drinking and sexuality. The science that studies the history of music is musicology, and the main theories on its origins are fundamentally two, based on one rhythm and the other on the melody. Its birth and its evolution were dictated by a necessity but also by spontaneity: grown up like the life of a climbing plant on the genealogical tree of man.

No wonder there’s a publishing house in the United States, the BathroomReader, specializing in publishing books to read ... while sitting there. 14
