单集简介 ...

Actor Rob Lowe LOVES the 1980s. And who can blame him? He was one of the most famous men on the planet. But, as he tells Dr Laurie Santos, he's careful not to wallow in nostalgia for the music, fashions and events of his youth too much - and happiness science backs him up on this. Research suggests that our memories of the past can be very selective and highly unreliable - causing us to misremember events and cast them in a rosy glow. Sadly, this also causes us to make very bad decisions about what will make us happy in the future.

  • Pushkin When you hear the word nostalgia, where do your thoughts go?

  • Oh boy, you know it gets triggered,

  • you know usually by music or smell like hot air and pines, that combination.

  • And then if you throw in a little bit of saltwater,

  • reminds me of the very first time I ever saw California in 1976 when I first set foot out here and started my journey to where I am today.

  • So that really gets me nostalgic.

  • You're listening to one of the most surreal conversations of my life.

  • I'm talking about nostalgia with the actor who personifies some of my fondest 80s memories,

  • Rob Lowe.

  • If you're a child of the 80s like me, Rob is an icon.

  • He was part of pretty much everything I'm embarrassed to love about that decade.

  • He was an ABC Afterschool Specials.

  • He starred in classic 80s movies like St.

  • Elmo's Fire and The Outsiders.

  • He was a member of the infamous Brat Pack.

  • He was on the cover of Team Beat Magazine week after week.

  • He dated all my teen girl idols, from Demi Moore to Winona Ryder.

  • He played the saxophone, or at least I thought he did.

  • Do you actually play the sax or is that just for the movie?

  • Let me tell you something.
