The Victimhood Paradox: How Our Brains Get Addicted to Feeling Hurt

Why does wallowing in misery sometimes feel... good? The Victimhood Paradox dives into the startling science behind why our brains can get hooked on feeling wronged. Join us as we explore the surprising neurobiology of self-pity, the evolutionary advantages of playing the victim, and how our culture, from social media to politics, has created an economy of outrage. Through interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and cultural historians, we'll uncover the hidden rewards of victimhood and learn how to break the cycle to build genuine resilience.
