Episode 2109 | Beauty, Brains and Burnout: How Does Art Help Us?

Gladys is deep in burnout mode. Her college counselor gives her the most unexpected prescription: art. In this episode we dive into whether or not beauty and art can actually heal, or if this is just an unrealistic fantasy. Zofia breaks down Monroe Beardsley's theory of aesthetic experience, meanwhile Robert breaks down the psychological and hormonal side of art, from cortisol drops, to dopamine boosts. Together, we figure out if Gladys just needs a day or two off of school, or, if art is really the key to helping her feel normal again.
