Kunst als medicijn
De wetenschap van kunst en gezondheidVeel mensen beschouwen het maken van kunst als een hobby of luxe. Maar wat als het bezig zijn met kunst geen overbodige luxe is, maar een levensreddend medicijn? In dit baanbrekende boek toont hoogleraar Daisy Fancourt aan hoe kunst en cultuur (van muziek en dans tot schilderkunst en poëzie) onze gezondheid en ons welzijn sterk beïnvloeden. Creatieve activiteiten versterken het brein, verminderen stress en pijn, en verkleinen het risico op dementie, eenzaamheid en zelfs vroegtijdige sterfte. Gebaseerd op tientallen jaren wetenschappelijk onderzoek en boordevol praktische inzichten, laat 'Kunst als medicijn' zien hoe kunst ons laat bloeien en sterker en gelukkig maakt.

Art Cure
Shortlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-FictionA groundbreaking exposé showing how the arts-alongside diet, sleep, exercise and nature-are the forgotten fifth pillar of healthFrom cradle to grave, engaging in the arts has remarkable effects on our health and well-being. Music supports the architectural development of children's brains. Artistic hobbies help our brains to stay resilient against dementia. Dance and magic tricks build new neural pathways for people with brain injuries. Arts and music act just like drugs to decrease depression, stress, and pain, reducing our dependence on medication. Going to live music events, museums, exhibitions, and the theater decreases our risk of future loneliness and frailty. Engaging in the arts improves the functioning of every major organ system in the body, even helping us to live longer.This isn't sensationalism, it's science: the results of decades of studies gathering data from neuroimaging, molecular biomarkers, wearable sensors, cognitive assessments, and electronic health records. From professor Daisy Fancourt, an award-winning scientist and science communicator and director of the World Health Organization's Collaborating Centre for Arts and Health, this book will fundamentally change the way you value and engage with the arts in your daily life and give you the tools to optimize how, when, and what arts you engage in to achieve your health goals. The arts are not a luxury in our lives. They are essential.
