The average person sees 10,000 commercial visuals a day. Yet, research shows we can only process around 1% of this information. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how is this overload affecting our state of mind?

In The Visual Detox, art expert and businesswoman Marine Tanguy explains how the imagery we encounter shapes our wellbeing. Providing a framework to critically analyse images, combat information overload and navigate our increasingly visual world, she teaches how to:

· learn the type of thinker you are (spatial, visual, verbal?);
· understand our brains’ interpretation of visual language;
· decode the subtle negative messages in popular culture;
· devise tiny hacks to drown out the online noise
· curate your surroundings to create soothing spaces.

This essential guide to visual decluttering combines science with fascinating case studies to empower you to reclaim your focus, peace of mind and sense of wonder.
