She is one of the most cited scientists in the world for her pioneering work on how the arts help us both survive and thrive.
Praised as “a revelation” by Melvyn Bragg and described as “fascinating, compelling and inspiring” by Dr Christopher Bailey of the World Health Organization, Art Cure reveals the powerful and measurable benefits of the arts for both mental and physical wellbeing.
Drawing on pioneering research, this book invites us to rethink our relationship with art and culture—and recognise their vital role in living longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
