Why music in your life can sure make a difference


On the Way to the Courthouse Wisdom—Do you have music in your life?  Find out why it can sure make a difference.

 

As most of you reading this know, I write a regular piece I call “What I’ve Learned about Life on the Way to the Courthouse”.  I send it to several   hundred friends and clients.  It is also published in North Carolina Lawyers Weekly, and I record them for WFDD FM radio station, Wake Forest University’s local National Public Radio affiliate.

I have been encouraged to send a weekly message, which is why you are receiving this.

The question of what it is, exactly, that makes people happy has been around since Man first told a story on the wall of a cave.  But science itself has learned to define it more precisely now.

Here is a brief conclusion of empirical data about an important moving part of this mystical thing we call happiness.  Hopefully, it will provide another sight line to this place where happiness resides.

 

LIFE WITH A BEAT. 92% of individuals who listened to music of their choice experience a positive effect on their mood.  Typical reactions to the music were happiness and excitement. (E. Hakanen, Journal of Communications, 5:124.  1995). I Love Beach Music, sings the song in my heart.  What song does your heart sing?
