"There is widespread agreement that art is very important, but it can be remarkably difficult to say quite why." This quote from Alain de Botton starts off today's episode all about the seven functions of art that you can use in your everyday life. 

Art as therapy postulates that creativity and art making is inherently human. It's part of our biology. It's what we do to express ourselves. And the process of making art is healing. Art makes us feel good. It's enjoyable. It really helps us make contact with the present moment, and it naturally provides the kind of insight and self-knowledge and self-actualization that we crave. It's something that can't be replaced any other way. Making art also gives life fun, purpose and meaning.
