Here is a great (and short) TED Talk from Julian Treasure (author of Sound Business) all about the often-forgotten power of audio and sound in life, business and marketing...
TED - Julian Treasure: The 4 ways sound affects us.
(side-bar - while attending my first TED conference a few years back, I spent quite a bit of time watching the live presentations and chatting with Julian. We just happened to meet at the event and stayed connected).

Great presentation.
What is it at 3:54? I first thought it is "Pinball Wizard" from The Who - Tommy, but after listening to some versions of it, I am pretty sure that it is not.

There's a book that's been out for a couple years called "This is your brain on music" - it's a worthwhile read, on its own, and taken with the overtones this TED speech has for business, could be called a How-To for people considering working out soundscapes.
Very useful, as TED always is. Thanks as always, Mitch.
