When I grew up in the 50s and 60s, rock and roll was everything. I loved rock and roll. But my father was an Englishman and he listened to classical music. He listened to FM classical music all the time. And I hated that music. It would always be playing. And he was really adamant. He would not allow me to touch the music. So basically, I had to get my music somewhere else. But the most amazing thing happened when I reached my early 20s. I fell in love with classical music. And ever since then, I listen to classical music all the time. Now. Some people ask me why I'm so productive, and it's something that I learned is that when you play classical music while you're working, no songs, no bands, just classical music, best is Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, the classics. What happens is it has an effect on your brain that causes you to think with greater clarity. You're far more relaxed, you're far more productive. Your flash point is lower, you're calmer. And that's why classical music is so popular, because it actually affects you not only mentally, but emotionally and spiritually. So when you're not doing anything, just put on classical music in the background and you'll be amazed at how much more positive you feel and how much more positive everyone else is around you. With classical music playing, just give it a try.
