Would you be surprised to learn that B.F. Skinner was a very likable guy and that you may actually be very much in agreement with his ideas?  Many people who study psychology have a negative impression of Skinner.  Well, I'm about to challenge those impressions by presenting a side of Skinner you probably haven't been exposed to.  In these sound bytes you'll hear his ideas about learning to play music, about discovery, having fun and becoming the most that you can be.
