#49 The Untapped Wellbeing Resource with Stephen Deuchar

<p><em>“In a single glance through a picture, you can be transformed into another world”</em></p><p>It’s no secret that we are facing unprecedented levels of anxiety. But what if there was a parallel world that offered us a different way of thinking about life? Director of the Art Fund, Stephen Deuchar, believes that museums and art galleries offer just that. He talks about the fascinating findings of a recent report that found that actively deciding to take time for cultural activities and pursuits can have a profound impact on our overall wellbeing.&nbsp;Stephen believes that every human could be moved by a piece of art or culture and that there is something on offer for everyone. And it needn’t take hours – even a short visit will be beneficial. After talking to Stephen, I feel inspired to explore the rich diversity that is on offer. I hope you do too!</p><p>Show notes available at&nbsp;<a href="https://drchatterjee.com/untapped-wellbeing-resource-stephen-deuchar/" target="_blank">drchatterjee.com/artfund</a></p><p>Follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drchatterjee/" target="_blank">instagram.com/drchatterjee/</a></p><p>Follow me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DrChatterjee/" target="_blank">facebook.com/DrChatterjee/</a></p><p>Follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk" target="_blank">twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk</a></p><p>DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
