About this listen
Ah, the joy of taking misery in others' misfortune. Isin't this a tale as old as time? In this episode, Drs. Anu and Rashmi discuss the complex emotions of schadenfreude, a bittersweet pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
They explore how cultural expectations, societal pressures, and personal experiences can contribute to feelings of schadenfreude among people of color.
The episode also examines the ethical implications of schadenfreude and how it can be a double-edged sword. While it can provide temporary solace, it can also perpetuate negative cycles and hinder personal growth. Drs. Anu and Rashmi offer insights on managing these emotions and cultivating empathy and compassion.
Enjoy!
