Book description
Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us - A Fresh Lens on Healing
Susan Magsamen's new book, co-authored with Ivy Ross, turns a familiar idea on its head: that art is simply a form of entertainment. Instead, it argues-and backs that claim with solid science-that engaging in creative activities can lower stress hormones, boost learning and creativity, extend our lives, and even curb loneliness. The premise feels almost too good to be true, but the evidence is compelling.
What makes this read so accessible is the way Magsamen and Ross weave research findings into everyday life. They cite studies showing that a 45-minute art session can cut cortisol levels by half, while just one artistic encounter each month might add a decade to your lifespan. The book also explores how music sharpens cognitive skills, how tuning forks can calm us with sound waves, and how virtual reality offers new therapeutic possibilities. Even the suggestion that doctors prescribe museum visits for loneliness or dementia feels almost inevitable once you see the data.
The narrative is enriched by conversations with well-known artists-David Byrne, Renée Fleming-and a touch of evolutionary biology from E.O. Wilson. These voices add color without detracting from the book's core message: art is not a luxury; it's a vital part of human health and community resilience.
What I find most intriguing is the call for a cultural shift. Magsamen and Ross suggest that if we treat the arts as essential infrastructure-like schools, parks, or hospitals-we can transform public wellness on a massive scale. The book feels like a manifesto for a healthier, more connected society.
For anyone who has ever wondered whether painting or dancing really matters beyond "just having fun," this book offers an eye-opening answer. It's not only a science-backed guide but also an invitation to reimagine how we heal and thrive in everyday life.
