In **Art Cure**, **Professor Daisy Fancourt** makes a persuasive, highly readable case for the arts as a genuine health tool—backed by decades of research and a keen sense of how we actually live. This is science-informed nonfiction for anyone curious about the mind–body benefits of creativity.
Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, immunology and public health, Fancourt explores what happens when we sing, dance, read, visit galleries, or simply listen closely. Along the way, she shows how arts engagement can support children’s brain development, ease stress and chronic pain, strengthen resilience against depression, and help protect cognitive health as we age. Real-life stories sit alongside the evidence, keeping the ideas grounded and practical.
Perfect for readers who love **popular science**, **wellbeing books**, and **mental health** insights, as well as creative souls wanting an evidence base for their instincts.
