Two authorities on popular culture reveal the ways in which art can enhance mood and enrich lives - now available in paperback This passionate, thought-provoking, often funny, and always-accessible book proposes a new way of looking at art, suggesting that it can be useful, relevant, and therapeutic. Through practical examples, the world-renowned authors argue that certain great works of art have clues as to how to manage the tensions and confusions of modern life. Chapters on love, nature, money, and politics show how art can help with many common difficulties, from forging good relationships to coming to terms with mortality.

Art as Therapy | Alain Botton, John Armstrong

The first half of this book is excellent in the exploration of art, why it matters, why we are compelled to create, how it speaks and moves us. The second half, while interesting, fell a bit short for me. Still well worth the read though.
