neuroaesthetics

Friend of the podcast and one of my favourite authors Dr Tara Swart is back on The Doctor’s Kitchen show today. Neuroscientist, former medical doctor and author of “The Source”, a book that has been hugely impactful to my career and mindset.

She’s also host of top rated life sciences podcast “Reinvent Yourself with Dr Tara”, and brand ambassador in beauty and well-being.

Today we’re going to talk about neuroplasticity and the ability of every human to adapt and change way later in life than we originally thought. Dr Tara will talk to us about exercises for how to better tap into the potential of our brains, as well as the science of why manifesting and vision boarding (also known as ‘action boarding’) works as well as how ancient wisdom has influenced her medical practice.

Her idea is simple: no matter how old, how stubborn, or how set in their ways, everyone has the capacity to change. And to add to that, everyone has the ability to manifest a future for themselves full of love, joy, health and whatever you desire. But your mindset and willingness to let go is crucial. You will love Tara’s science influenced approach to manifesting and ancient practices.

Did you know that just 20 minutes of art a day is as beneficial as exercise and mindfulness? Or that participating in one art experience per month can extend your life by ten years? 

Our guests Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen talk about their new book, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us. Together they explore the new science of neuroaesthetics, which explains how the arts can measurably change the body, brain, and our behaviors. 

This is the first installment in a three part series we’re running called, Mundane Glory about learning not to overlook the little things in your daily life that can be powerful and evidence-based levers for increased happiness. 

In this episode we talk about:

• Their definition of the arts and aesthetic experiences
• How they see nature as, “the highest form of art”
• How simple actions like humming in the shower & gardening can be categorized as art experiences
• How you don’t have to be good at making art to benefit from it
• The difference between “makers” and “beholders” of art
• What they mean by art being a part of our evolutionary DNA
• How engaging in the arts can help strengthen our relationships and connectivity
• How arts and aesthetic experiences create neuroplasticity in the brain
• How society’s emphasis on optimizing for productivity has pushed the arts aside
• The four key attributes that make up a concept called an “aesthetic mindset”
• The benefits of partaking in a wide array of art experiences
• The importance of infusing play and non judgment into the art you make
• How art can be a form of meditation and mindfulness
• How artistic experiences can extend your life, help treat disease and relieve stress
• How the arts affect the way we learn
• The emerging field of neuroarts and neuroaesthetics
• How food fits into the arts category
• Simple ways to integrate the arts into our daily lives
• Technology’s relationship to the arts
• And the importance of architecture and your physical space as a form of art

Julie and Robert examine the neurological side of your trip to the museum. What happens when we lose ourselves in Mona Lisa's smile or the nightmare worlds of Hieronymus Bosch? Were artists the first neuroscientists?
