The world is moving towards what we call in the book a hybrid experience where you're going to be in the real world and in the virtual world. What you learn in these immersive spaces can transfer into your real world. The role of technology married to the arts and science is democratizing also. There's an access that is opening up in so many ways. We all want to amplify our potential. We want to flourish. These elated states of humanity are also part of what it means to be human.
In their new book Your Brain on Art, VP of Hardware Design at Google Ivy Ross and Founder and Director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Susan Magsamen show that great art and stories are not just enjoyable, but necessary for us to flourish as humans. On this episode of the FoST Podcast, they discuss the neuroscience supporting their hypothesis and the culture shift needed to help us live fuller, more artistic lives.
