New research says looking back on the past with rose-tinted glasses helps your wellbeing in the present
"I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine," Lou Reed once famously remarked. He may be happy to hear, then, that new research finds a pleasant personal trip down memory lane does wonders for your wellbeing.
Psychologists in the personality and well-being laboratory at San Francisco State University examined the personality traits of 750 volunteers and concluded that an ability to look back on the past in a positive way plays a key role in attaining overall life satisfaction.
Does the research chime with your own attitudes towards nostalgia? Perhaps you'd like to share your happiest memories and tell us how they make you feel.
