What Roots Are For

From the Studio · YouTube

Resilience reggae for the hard days. “What Roots Are For” and the science of grit. “What Roots Are For” by Roots in Wisdom is conscious reggae built on Chapter 14 of “Performance Enhancing Music” by Dr. Charles Barr — part of the Press Play album, where every song turns the science of music into a song. THE SCIENCE — Chapter 14: Resilience & Grit Chapter 14 is the forward-motion chapter. Dr. Barr cites Ferguson & Sheldon (2013, Journal of Positive Psychology), which found upbeat music combined with the intention to lift your mood produces real, measurable improvement — engagement matters, not just background sound. Music you lean into becomes fuel for grit. OUR TAKE That’s what roots are for. When the storm comes, deep roots hold — “What Roots Are For” is a resilience anthem you actively rise to. GOOD FOR / PRESS PLAY WHEN… Great for: motivation, hard times, staying grounded, and getting back up. PUT IT INTO PRACTICE - Build a “forward-motion” playlist for hard days and play it with intention to lift. - Lean in — sing, move, engage; the effect beats passive listening. - Pair one song with a comeback moment so it becomes your trigger to push.
