Art is not just for admiring - it's a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth. In "Art as Therapy," renowned thinkers Alain de Botton and John Armstrong reveal how paintings, sculptures, and other works can help us navigate modern anxieties, from troubled relationships to the fear of mortality. Through vivid examples, they show how art's subtle lessons can soothe the soul, reframe our perspectives, and unlock new pathways for living. Whether you're an art aficionado or a casual observer, this book will transform the way you see the world around you.
