Maybe I'm strange, but if I would have a friend I would recommend him to either listen to some nice radio with music and news, just favorite kind of music or nothing. Lately I'm partial to the sounds of a pebble beach or strange Buddhist rhythms. Also Lo-Fi music compilations seem soothing, lately I've found Alien Cake Music with Lo-Fi Grunge. I think that this Lo-Fi trend lately and in general the thing some people say about analog audio, that it is softer is about how sound with some noise added is akin to a massage for the brain.

Would recommend https://mynoise.net/noiseMachines.php specifically, they have a bunch of great sounds.

Mynoise (ive posted about it here in the past) is amazing.

If you have ADHD Insomnia (no drugs, just biology) and ASMR 'needs' -- Do church bells with thunder and the 1942 bomber static radio channel... EQ the bells up.

I had it saved years ago, but that mix will give you a lot to play with and be happy with.

How exactly does Lo-Fi music "introduce you to new concepts & subjects in an engaging, informed, & intelligent way"?
My point is to relax instead. So a contrarian answer to the title question (ignoring the broader question): "none".

Though often my mind does not stop and does the work on its own or I'm more relaxed and later on can focus better.
