The arts used to be part of everyday life. Now, the arts are often thought of as either a luxury for the rich or a nice hobby for everyone else when times are good.

Susan Magsamen is the founder of the Arts + Mind Lab at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the co-author of “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us.” 

In this episode, she discusses her groundbreaking research on the benefits of art for transforming individual and systemic health.
