Anyone who is an artist will feel even more creative after reading this fascinating and fun book. The author makes a spectacular case for the ways painters, musicians, chefs and writers discovered and described various functions of our brains which are only now being documented by scientists. The famous example is Proust's memory connected to the taste of a "cookie" which along with many others clarifies what we all should know already, that art and artists are absolutely essential to humanity. ~ Reviewed by Karen Frank
