When something bad happens to someone you dislike, do you feel a little glee inside? Maybe a lot of glee?  Or do you cheer when the villain in a movie or TV show gets what’s coming to them?  There is a German word for the feeling of joy we get from the suffering or misfortune of others: schadenfreude.  The other day, I wondered: is there an opposite of schadenfreude? There is, and it’s called freudenfreude. This is when you find joy in the success and happiness of others. (It’s an English word created from a German word where “freuden” means “joy.”)  Today’s episode is all about why we experience schadenfreude, its high cost, and how to find real happiness in the joy of others.
