Session description

Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross are coauthors of the New York Times bestseller Your Brain On Art: How the Arts Transform Us.

“This mind-bending book can help shape richer lives and a newer world. It’s the best description yet of the indivisibility of art, the natural world, and our neurological health.”—Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods

“Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross, through extensive interviews and research, have created something beautiful and affirming with their book. Its pages provide proof for what so many of us have always known, that art, especially art in community, is transformative beyond measure.”—David Byrne, founding member of The Talking Heads and author of How Music Works
