MUSIC “A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “Music is to the soul what words are to the mind.”
NATURE
“Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now, a large body of research is documenting the positive impacts of nature on human flourishing—our social, psychological, and emotional life. Over 100 studies have shown that being in nature, living near nature, or even viewing nature in paintings and videos can have positive impacts on our brains, bodies, feelings, thought processes, and social interactions. In particular, viewing nature seems to be inherently rewarding, producing a cascade of position emotions and calming our nervous systems. These in turn help us to cultivate greater openness, creativity, connection, generosity, and resilience.
FOOD
At the best restaurants around the world, the food is not only mind-blowingly delicious, but it’s also exceedingly beautiful as if the chef is a master painter using the plate as a canvas to create their masterpiece. To make this kind of gorgeous food, it takes an incredible amount of creativity and ingenuity, artistic flair and years of experience honing one’s craft.
