Our guests Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen talk about their new book, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us.
The way they use the word it's basically interchangeable with beauty so it can encompass not only a death march through a huge museum but also music, dance, books, plays, movies, TV, food, architecture, gardening, humming in the shower and being in nature.
Just 20 minutes of art a day is as beneficial as exercise and mindfulness.
participating in one art experience per month can extend your life by 10 years.
The book is called your brain on art how the arts transform us and we have a website www.yourbrainonart.com which we post and share stories and we have a place where we'd love to hear your stories.
