Handbook inc.’s Success Super Book : a definitive Consolidation of 25 Perspectives to Guide your Future Success

27. Let music influence your mood.
“When I’m in the car to and from work each day, I blare my music 
and make sure to sing along with whoever I’m listening to. Great 
way to gear up for the day or wind down after a particularly long 
one. Only downside is that it gets a bit awkward at a red light when 
you catch the next car staring at you while you’re belting out to Ed 
Sheeran.”
--Aaron Zarraga, cofounder and CTO of Sensel, next generation 
touch technology allowing limitless open-source creative 
expression for makers and creators
28. Create a sense of calm.
“Creating a sense of calm each day helps me to set goals, prioritize 
and reflect. Whether this means waking up early for a yoga class 
or practicing breathing and meditation on my morning commute, 
I have found that even five minutes can make a difference. 
This habit has allowed me to be more engaged, thoughtful and 
ultimately make better decisions in both my work and personal 
life.”
--Lynnette Bruno, VP of communications, Zillow Group and PR 
and Research at Trulia, a mobile and online real estate resource

TIME TO RELAX. 
29. Make time for music.
“I listen to music every day. Not all day, just two songs minimum-
-one familiar and one random. One of the first things I do when 
I get out of bed in the morning is play one song I know will have 
a positive effect on me. This gets me going and puts me in the 
right mindset for the day. Then I’ll play at least one random song 
on my commute. Sometimes I get one I love or haven’t heard for 
years, sometimes I get neither. The variable reward not only keeps 
me coming back, but is exciting. For me, music has noticeable and 
powerful effects on my brain. It changes my mood, motivates me, 
and boosts my concentration.”
--Jason Finkelstein, CRO of Traitify, a company that applies 
personality science to help businesses attract, hire and keep the 
best people
