From the child considering whether the pigeon should drive the bus to the literature professor pondering the thematic threads in Toni Morrison’s novels, people are transfixed by stories. Yet, they know relatively little about how engaging with stories might shape who they become. This chapter explores recent research investigating the effects of reading fiction on cognitive and intellectual development, personal development, and social development. In each domain, attention is given to how qualities of texts and readers may interact to yield seemingly contradictory effects. The chapter concludes with examples of practical applications of reading programs and suggestions for addressing key limitations and gaps in the research literature.

This chapter draws on theory and a range of recent research literature to explain how music contributes to human flourishing. It first treats music listening and music-making as separate domains, and then brings them together to consider the world of the musician across a range of contexts. Parallels are drawn between theories of well-being and theories of emotion in music. It also includes a developmental perspective on how music is associated with well-being at different stages in life, and how culture and society work together to foster this. The chapter concludes with a consideration of the purposes and goals of engaging with music for well-being and flourishing.
