Go to student art exhibitions.

I think student arts things are brilliant because that's where you can actually buy art directly from a student that's made it.

And you then get that kind of personal meaning, like maybe you met that artist and you sort of knew a little bit about that picture.

And each time you look at it, you'll remember that interaction that you had with them.

So you've got the joy from the art and the joy from the memory of that experience that you had with it.

This is great actually to think about.

if you have spaces like a work environment at home that you know you often get stressed in, putting that picture above your desk so that you've got that thing that each time you have a bad moment, you can look up and just take a few seconds looking at that.

We know that even those short microdosing looking at art can bring those neurological and physiological benefits.

People already have books on exercise and diet and sleep.

And I thought no one has written the book that's about art in this way.

So I wanted to bring this science to people in a really open and accessible way, but also make it creative.

Like every chapter's got a real life story of a real person, but a narrative to it as well.

Yes, we're all drawn to fiction now, but I don't think nonfiction is that different.

I think nonfiction can also have stories in it and can bring science to life with those beautiful narratives and emotions.

But I also wanted it to be super practical.

So the end of every chapter is what I call the daily dose.

And it's my advice, like having read about this science, what can you practically do in your life starting today that will put this into action, whether you're, and it sort of breaks it down by health condition, whether you're interested in mental health or brain health or movements or immune health or longevity or whatever.

So there's really clear, practical science-backed takeaways.

And what I'm hoping is that people who are in that 95% of adults who say they didn't do any arts yesterday, can this book actually help to overcome those barriers, to find those really simple, easy ways of bringing the joy of creativity back into the everyday so everyone can experience those health and wellbeing benefits.

Thank you so much.
