#83 Schadenfreude: The Secret Pleasure We Don’t Talk About

from Ra in Wonderland · host Ra Selin Turhan

Why do we sometimes smile when someone else slips up? In this episode of Ra in Wonderland, we explore the strange and deeply human emotion of schadenfreude — the secret pleasure we feel at others’ misfortunes. Inspired by Tiffany Watt Smith’s witty book Schadenfreude, Ra unpacks the five faces of this complex feeling — from harmless spectator joy to karmic satisfaction — and invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences. Is it cruelty, justice, or just human nature? Through humor, stories, and reflection, this episode turns an uncomfortable truth into a powerful lesson in emotional honesty and self-awareness.#RaInWonderland#PodcastEpisode#Schadenfreude#EmotionalIntelligence#TiffanyWattSmith#HumanEmotions#SelfAwareness#PsychologyPodcast#HonestConversations#CuriousMinds#EverydayPsychology#InnerGrowth#JusticeFeels#EmotionalGrowth#RaReflects
