Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

My brain's catching the rhythms of what I sense will be a beautiful day though it's overcast outside. Music enhances what I do whether I hum a melody in my mind or sing along with a favorite tune as I drive. :-)

Last January 1, I had the chance to view Johann Strauss music played by Vienna Symphony Orchestra - it was a good start. Jan. 4, I went to the City - to buy a CD. I feel my brain energized and more creative and relaxes. There is a fluency flow of thought. I feel great. I encourage my sister who have a baby girl to listen to classical music. Hope she will be musically inclined when she grow up.

The NY Times ran an interesting article on this last week titled, "They’re Playing My Song. Time to Work Out." Here's the link.

Here's my comment on it that I posted on my blog.

Years ago, a friend of mine tried to start up a business designing music programs for health clubs. No luck. The clubs preferred free radio. A couple of years after that, my experimentally-minded son studied this in his own way and found that a difference in the music he played on his Walkman could make a huge difference in the time it took him to walk down the hill to public transit.
