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?
