About Garcia Street Books
Praise for "Your Brain on Art"
Mark Hyman, MD | Author of #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Young Forever" and "The UltraMind Solution"
“The neuroscience of beauty, of witnessing or creating music, art, dance is an untapped doorway to healing the brain, to changing the very structure and function of our brains and minds. Your Brain On Art explores the new science of neuroaesthetics, a way of reimagining how to live that includes art as an essential part of the human experience and an unexpected doorway to healing.”
Mary Pipher | Author of "Women Rowing North: A Life in Light and Reviving Ophelia"
"This wonderful book demonstrates that art is essential for health, healing, community and bliss. Indeed, art both defines us and allows us to transcend our own small selves. Since the beginning of time, our species created art and art created us. The authors describe the new field of neuroaesthetics that measures how art changes the brain and other systems in the body. The book is well-researched and well-written. I couldn't put it down. I recommend it to all."
Angela Duckworth | #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance"
“This book blew my mind! An authoritative yet practical guide to the neuroarts – a term that, if you haven't heard it before, is even more reason to join its brilliant co-authors on a romp through the latest science on how art transforms the brain and the body.”
