Shelf Excerpt:

Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Transform Our Health by Daisy Fancourt

I first noticed this book while visiting the home of an extraordinary collector in Milan. It was sitting on a table among many remarkable books, and I immediately stopped to photograph it. I knew I wanted to read it.

Art Cure brings together decades of scientific research demonstrating what many of us who love art have intuitively understood for a long time: art changes us. It can reduce stress, improve well-being, strengthen memory, deepen connection, and support healing across every stage of life.

The book is an affirmation that art is not a luxury or an afterthought. It is part of what helps us flourish. For those of us who have long believed that art matters, it is deeply gratifying to see science catching up with experience.
