Why We Romanticize the Past — and Should We Stop?


Listen Later

As the end of the year approaches, we wanted to use this last episode of 2021 to talk about... the past? Rather than set New Year's goals and resolutions (because that worked so well the last two years), we're going to let 2022 do its thing and instead talk about nostalgia. We brought on Charlotte Lieberman, a multidisciplinary writer, mental health thought leader, and author of The New York Times article, "Why we romanticize the past," to talk about the psychology behind memory. So if you're still reminiscing on your college days or thinking about getting back with an ex (was he really that bad?), first listen to this 40 minute AP Psychology class. Happy holidays, and we'll see you next year!
