About this episode
This episode explores the concept of schadenfreude and how recognizing it can help combat negativity in the world.
The word "schadenfreude" entails a type of all-too-common sadism, where we delight in the misfortunes of others. Most schadenfreude is unconscious, but when we become aware of and name it, we're able to slay the evil monster, creating more life in the world, by eradicating hate.
