    This Must Be the Place explores how music can make cities better. 
     
     
     
    This Must Be the Place introduces and examines music's relationship to cities. Not the influence cities have on music, but the powerful impact music can have on how cities are developed, built, managed, and governed. 
     
     
     
    Told in an accessible way through personal stories from cities around the world—including London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin, and Zurich—This Must Be the Place takes a truly global perspective on the ways music is integral to everyday life but neglected in public policy. 
     
     
     
    Arguing for the transformative role of artists and musicians in a post-pandemic world, This Must Be The Place not only examines the powerful impact music can have on our cities, but also serves as a how-to guide and toolkit for music-lovers, artists, and activists everywhere to begin the process of reinventing the communities they live in.

    Have you read books about narcissistic abuse recovery and toxic personalities? Although you feel more informed, you still find yourself going around in circles with them. Do you still have burning questions? Why are they like this? Do they continuously drain your energy with their atrocious behavior? Let's be honest. Regardless of what we do in life, narcissists will always be around. No one can completely exterminate their life of toxic personalities. They will still show up at work, unbreakable family ties, or a relationship you cannot escape. Wouldn't it be nice to deal with them completely unaffected? 
     
     
     
    Learn techniques, tools, and insight into your relationships that you won't find in any other book. There are reasons that narcissists love and lock onto empaths, givers, and lovers. As the counterpart, we have insecurities, matching traumas, imbalances, and inner wounds that must heal. Merely explaining the psychology around toxic and narcissistic personalities does not address our core issues, so we continue to repeat patterns with them. Only once we look at both sides of the relationship from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual standpoint can we maintain relationships without becoming trapped by negative emotions. We are in charge of those emotions, yet we do not know how to identify, heal, or balance ourselves. That's the focus of this book.
