Music as Medicine: John Chester on Harnessing Playlists for Well-Being

Most people use music as entertainment consciously, but unconsciously they use it like a drug.
Imagine if the tunes you listen to every day could do more than just entertain—they could actually improve your mental health and boost productivity. In this episode of the Power of a Positive Playlist Podcast, host and seasoned music therapist John Chester dives into this fascinating concept. With over 25 years of experience in psychiatric facilities, John has crafted numerous successful programs aimed at treating addiction, depression, and PTSD through the power of music.
John sits down with Susan Hamilton from OBBM Network to reveal the deeper truths behind using music as a tool for more than just customer influence. They explore how consciously curating your playlists can serve as a form of mental and emotional medicine.
Most people might think of music as mere background noise, but John argues that it can be much more impactful, likening its unconscious use to that of a drug—put bad music in, and you get bad results out. Drawing from Chapter 6 of his best-selling book, 'Itty Bitty Book of Positive Playlists', John shares practical tips on how to intentionally program your life’s soundtrack.
He stresses the importance of recognizing the interwoven nature of work and home life, suggesting that understanding your employees' goals and dreams can lead to a more harmonious office environment. Whether you're looking to enhance your personal life or boost your business, John's insights offer a fresh perspective on the transformative power of music. His coaching methods and book 'Live Your Worth' provide actionable advice for anyone looking to gain an edge in both their personal and professional lives.
Tune in to discover how you can harness the power of positive playlists to foster a healthier, more productive lifestyle.
