James Kimmel Jr. Explains the Roots of Revenge Addiction and How to Rise Above ItThe Science of Revenge reveals a truth most of us never learned. Our brains are wired to crave payback. What feels like anger, justice, or righteous indignation is often something deeper. A biological loop that pulls us toward retaliation even when we know it will not make us whole. In this episode, host John R. Miles talks with Yale psychiatry professor and author James Kimmel Jr. about  how revenge addiction forms in the brain, why it drives so much of modern conflict, and how forgiveness neuroscience can interrupt the cycle. Through his personal story, his research, and the tools he has created, James shows us how to break free from the cravings that keep us stuck in pain.Explore More: The Ignited Life Newsletter  If today’s episode sparked something in you, you’ll love The Ignited Life—our free Substack newsletter created to fuel your growth between episodes.
