What you listen to becomes a big shaper and moulder in your life, music is very subliminal and very suggestive. 44
This can be found to true across the age demographics be it twelve year old or teenager, young adult or even an old man or woman. Why because of the power of “autosuggestion.” Napoloen Hill in his book “think and grow rich” explores in the depth the power of autosuggestion or what is popularly known as subliminal messaging.
