Tara sits down with the co-authors of “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us,” Ivy Ross & Susan Magsamen, to discuss the importance of including art in your daily life, how just 20 minutes in nature can lower cortisol levels and increase focus and making versus beholding. They also discuss the science of neuroaesthetics and the power it has to transform traditional medicine and build healthier communities.
