About this listen
Ever fantasized about getting even? You're not alone — and it turns out revenge isn't just satisfying… It's literally addictive.
Clinical psychologists Bill Roman & Dan Schaefer dive deep into:
- Why revenge triggers the same dopamine rush as cocaine
- How harboring resentment is a "behavioral addiction" (new brain science!)
- The dark reason Hollywood revenge movies (John Wick, Kill Bill, Gladiator) make billions
- Why "venting" your anger actually makes it worse
- The one thing that finally breaks the cycle: forgiveness (and it's harder than it sounds)
If you've ever replayed "that moment" in your head, chopped wood while imagining someone's face, or cheered when the bad guy finally gets it — this episode is for you.
