About this listen
We’re on the verge of a cultural shift in which the arts can deliver potent, accessible and proven solutions for the well-being of everyone.
Magsamen and Ross offer compelling research that shows how engaging in an art project — from painting and dancing to expressive writing, architecture and more — for as little as forty-five minutes reduces the stress hormone cortisol, no matter your skill level, and just one art experience per month can extend your life by ten years.
Your Brain on Art is an authoritative guide to how neuroaesthetics can help us transform traditional medicine, build healthier communities and mend an aching planet. The book weaves a tapestry of breakthrough research, insights from multidisciplinary pioneers and compelling stories from people who are using the arts to enhance their lives.

An authoritative yet practical guide to the neuroarts - a term that, if you haven't heard it before, is even more reason to join these brilliant co-authors on a romp through the latest science on how art transforms the brain and the body." (Angela Duckworth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance)
"This book brilliantly puts a new science to the experience of viewing and making art, and shows us how to use art to transform our daily lives. Your Brain on Art will change how you think about the creative world - both around you and within you." (Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better)
"A groundbreaking book on the science behind humanity, joy and creativity. Art is the word we use for the magic that makes us better." (Seth Godin, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Marketing)
