Always be aware if someone on a stage is telling you how to feel. This is manipulative Hollywood and/or Guru crap. Manipulating whom into what? Middle Management folks into selling more shoes or whatever they sell. He USES classical music, he even does not hestitate to USE Auschwitz – for completely the WRONG reason. Fuck off!

Wrong. Maybe you didn‘t notice, but there is this 18 min. talking bullshit going on, where he tells his audience what to do with the music and how it can help them to SELL more of their product. He bluntly abuses the music, therefore it‘s not even beautiful anymore. Other topics he abuses for the sake of mass manipulation: a deceased loved person, nelson mandela, martin luther king, the holocaust... Nothing is sacred/too personal to him not to employ it to tell people how they should restructure their business, so they can SELL MORE/ how to talk their employees into working some extra hours. With shining eyes. Shining Eyes! Clap! Clap! Oh, he forgot to build in Ghandi. Next time, clever bastard.

i believe you are hearing things he doesn't say..... of course he's overly dramatic, but it's not a sales speech. you have some personal vendetta with this guy?

^ The moral of story is...
Benjamin's presentation has absolutely nothing to do with: manipulation, classical music, sales, Ghandi, the Holocaust, etc...
Perhaps if you learned to listen you might actually learn something about yourself and others.
