Karen,
I've also found that listening to my i-Pod at work is very calming. In fact, almost my entire team was hooked up to their i-Pods at one point because of the stress levels at work. Listening to music helped us collaborate more effectively and avoid confrontations. I think i-Pods are so beneficial that they should come with computers at work with a bank of free downloads! I agree that our lives revolve around our impulses too much, but I definitely think they are important. Having impulses show that we are all unique individuals and give us the ability to express emotions in a way that we otherwise might not. I think a healthy range of emotions is important in life - not too many one way or the other.
