DIE MACHT DER MUSIK d’Ullrich Fichtner

Music makes us happier, healthier, smarter and nicer – and we need more of it in our lives.

DIE MACHT DER MUSIK
(The Power of Music)
by Ullrich Fichtner
DVA/PRH Germany, November 2025

Music has an extraordinary effect on us: it can give us goosebumps and butterflies, it can make our hearts beat faster, it can cheer us up and make us sad, can bring our stress levels down and ease pain. Not just that, but the latest findings from neuroscience and brain science show that it can have a positive impact on our health, psyche and social skills, and help develop and reinforce cognitive skills in both the young and the old.

In DIE MACHT DER MUSIK, the multi-award-winning Spiegel reporter and music aficionado demonstrates that music has huge tangible benefits. Using his wide-ranging experience with music and musicians in all genres around the world, as well as the latest scientific studies, he reveals how and why music is so important both for us individually and society at large, how it works, its enormous potential as a social tool, and how it can help us live a healthier, happier, more peaceful – in short: better – life.

Ullrich Fichtner was born in 1965 and is a Spiegel reporter based in Paris. With three Egon Erwin Kisch and three Henri Nannen prizes to his name, he is one of the most award-winning German journalists. His latest book, « Geboren für die großen Chancen » (‘A future of opportunities’) was shortlisted for the German Non-Fiction Prize.

WHAT’S GOING RIGHT de Paul Conti

Based on the wildly popular four-part series on Andrew Huberman’s podcast, this affirming book from world-renowned and celebrity-endorsed psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Conti, offers a paradigm-shifting approach to optimizing mental health — offering readers a proven way towards a joyful life.

WHAT’S GOING RIGHT:
A Powerful New Method for Optimizing Your Mental Health

More than one in five US adults are living with a mental illness. Since 2010, adults ages eighteen to twenty-five have experienced a 139 percent increase in anxiety. For all of the increasing and well-intended mental health resources at our immediate disposal, we could easily ask where we are going wrong. Yet, Dr. Paul Conti wants to know, “what’s going right?”

Backed by celebrities and esteemed colleagues such as Lady GaGa, Peter Attia, and Kim Kardashian, Dr. Conti poses that the best place to start addressing our mental health isn’t in focusing on what’s going wrong, but rather what’s going right. And the key to embracing this new narrative is tapping into our often ignored and long over-looked generative drive, the primary factor that’s already going right in each of us. The generative drive helps you get things done, solve problems creatively, help others and feel connected to something larger than yourself. When activated, it brings you peace, contentment, and delight.

With Dr. Conti’s notorious straightforward sincerity, he shares the exact method he uses on his patients and celebrity clients to help them tap into their generative drives including:

  • The 5 Part Structure of Self: When you alter your structure you alter its function

  • Cultivating a daily self-inquiry practice

  • Learning compassionate curiosity

  • Progressive muscle relaxation

  • Rewiring Life Narratives

  • Detect, Respond, Return and how to manage our stress response

WHAT’S GOING RIGHT offers readers a proven offramp from the toxic pursuits that keep them stuck and an onramp toward a joyful life.

He has been featured on top podcasts with industry-leading hosts such as Peter Attia, Tim Ferriss, Andrew Huberman, Mel Robbins, Lex Fridman, Whitney Cummings, Tom Bilyeu, Rich Roll, Danica Patrick, and others.

WIFEHOUSE de Sonya Walger

Told over the course of one year, through the shifting perspectives of wife, husband, lover, best friend and children, Walger paints a contradictory, nuanced portrait of a woman who walks away from every role that tradition and society have expected of her.

Annie and Hector have been hosting their friends Candace, Edouard, and their son, Remy, in the guest house of their Connecticut home for many months while their friends’ home undergoes renovations.

As a thank-you, Candace gifts Annie French lessons with twenty-six-year-old local French tutor, Thierry. Hector, an actor, goes to film on location, leaving Annie—newly bereaving her mother—to single-parent their two kids.

As the lessons progress, she finds herself unexpectedly vulnerable to the charms of a man closer in age to her own teenage daughter than to her own. A new life for Annie emerges, one she could never have foreseen.

I HOPE EDEN READS THIS d’Eli Rallo

For two women, the term ‘best friend’ has never been enough. They’ve met every milestone side-by-side, from first kisses to sick parents, and moving to New York City. But now, they’re no longer speaking.

Penny Straker’s whole world has fallen apart. She’s self-sabotaging—missing meetings at work and convincing herself that all of her friends are hanging out without her. She can’t eat, think, or sleep, and is falling into bad habits, like ghosting her therapist and obsessively swiping on Hinge. This is worse than a breakup. Penny hasn’t just lost Eden Wilmington…she’s lost her entire sense of self and understanding of her past.

Now, Penny is revisiting every moment of their friendship, trying to understand where things went so wrong. Is it because Penny doesn’t like Eden’s fiancé—or is it because of the huge secret Penny’s been keeping from Eden since the summer before college? And is there any heartbreak more painful than the end of a friendship?

Vulnerable, funny, heartbreaking, and utterly relatable, I HOPE EDEN READS THIS will appeal to fans of Such A Fun Age and Good Material.
