Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us

Your Brain on Art, is is a brilliant book with a good heart, a magnificent mind, and important work to do in the world. In it we witness a wedding between the arts and science. The book announces the consummation of that marriage and celebrates its progeny: health, wellness, community, innovation, empowerment. The book beckons us to join this celebration. To quote from the book “Creative expression, the arts, and aesthetics serve a core purpose: To birth new thoughts, and ideas. To mirror back to one another what is important and what is needed. To weave together common threads of humanity. The arts empower us to reimagine, re-envision, and reconnect in order to create a better future together.” Thanks to this book we now know with scientific certitude what we hitherto only intuited: that the arts heal. Come one come all and join the party! Celebrate Your Brain on Art!

Very interesting book

I was stunned by how much science has been devoted to understand the effects of art on the brain - “neuroaestethics”. And also by how many therapeutic innovations have arisen from (or been validated by) that research.Art’s good for you - and you don’t have to be an “artist”.See also “Music and Mind”-edited by Renee Fleming

Delivered in good condition. The content was mildly helpful.

Great book!

Loved reading (and re-reading) this book. Helped me understand how my artwork is helping my brain which was damaged in a bicycle accident 9 years ago.

Good book for this topic. Great anecdotes, but the research-based part is lacking. It quoted non-scientific articles that are not peer-reviewed. It discounted the validity of the content a great deal. What a shame.

Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us explores the powerful impact of art on our minds and lives. A must-read for creatives and educators! ✨📖 #ArtHeals #CreativeMind #NeuroscienceAndArt
