“Nostalgia
activates a number of positive states. Specifically, nostalgia increases
positive mood, self-esteem, feeling of social connectedness, and perceptions of
meaning in life.”
“Nostalgia
is good for people because nostalgic reflections allow them to revisit
cherished experiences from the past shared with friends and family. And these
experiences make people feel meaningful, valued, loved and happy.”

I'm planning to be in S'pore between the 18th and 25th of October. I will be getting your book, and hope to meet you for coffee as well!
Thanks Rick. Sure would be nice to meet up. We can communicate via email.
I've been happy for a long time now, writing about Singapore's hey-day. Nostalgic episodes are snapshots in the mind. All you need is a pen or the keyboard to make them come to life.
