When I made my way across childhood to the tinny AM radio, it was dark. Lights out. I listened intently. More intently than I ever had before.

Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that's what they do in 'Harry Potter': The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they've been near the Dementors!
