Did you know that Marilyn Monroe had the gift of synesthesia? This book explores this interesting fact – and also that all babies are believed to be synesthetes until they’re four months of age.
A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays music; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as she composes a ballad; and an actress tastes cake when she says the word "table." These are examples of synesthesia, and the people who possess this gift are called synesthetes.
In Tasting The Universe, author Maureen Seaberg, who is a synesthete herself, explores this fascinating topic, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper spiritual truths.
