I did not know what it was, and I started listening carefully, but then I noticed my mind wandering as if to own the music. It was like it was not enough for me just to enjoy the moment. I needed to memorize, understand, and analyze what I was hearing to capture that moment. And in doing this, I was no longer enjoying it. What stopped me from enjoying the music In asking that question, I remembered the humanistic psychologist Erich Fromm. In his classic book To Have or To Be he wrote about “having” and “being” as two different mindsets or attitudes towards life.
