NY Times and Nostalgia


Leading scientific researchers uncover why nostalgia is both important and positive. Nostalgia was originally seen as a disease of the mind, and only as of recent are we beginning to recognize the positive qualities of this human-specific emotion.

“Nostalgia serves a crucial existential function. It brings to mind cherished experiences that assure us we are valued people who have meaningful lives. Some of our research shows that people who regularly engage in nostalgia are better at coping with concerns about death.” Dr. Routledge
“Nostalgia helps us deal with transitions. The young adults are just moving away from home and or starting their first jobs, so they fall back on memories of family Christmases, pets and friends in school.” Dr. Hepper
