Which side of your face is your good side and why?
So do you know which side of your face is your good side? The one you like to point towards the camera when someone's taking your picture. Hi, and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. If you've never taken the time to really determine which side of your face is the good side, I can tell you that it's probably the left side. Researchers from Wake Forest University studied the faces of male and female college students and took note of their personal preferences, and they almost always said the left side. The researchers say there's a reason most of us are drawn to the left side. That side of the face is controlled by the right side of the brain, which governs feelings. As a result, the left side of your face will usually show a greater intensity of emotion. This is also a difference that painters have seemingly known about for centuries. Go to any museum and you will notice most portraits depict a person's left side. And that is something you should know. Whether you realize it or not, music plays a role in your life. You hear music more than you think.
Get in your car, go to the store, go to the mall, go to the doctor's office, watch TV, go to the movies. There will be music playing in all those cases. And then there is the music that you intentionally listen to because you enjoy it. Well, what effect does all this music have on you? And can you use music in an intentional way to actually help you to improve your life? Or maybe music is just something pleasant to listen to to fill up the silence. Well, I think what you're about to hear about music and how it affects you is going to surprise you. My guest is Sarah Layla Sherman. She is a musician and educator who has pioneered innovative approaches to use music as a tool for mindful learning and personal growth.
She's co-author of a book called Resonant Minds, The Transformative Power of Music One Note at a Time. Hi, Sarah. Welcome to Something You Should Know.
