Summary
New research flips the script on nostalgia—ditching the “waste of time” stigma. Just a few minutes of reminiscing or reliving a favorite song can actually lift your mood and propel you forward.

So next time you’re daydreaming about the past? Embrace it. That warm glow? It’s not just comfort—it’s purpose. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
