The Joy of Pain: Schadenfreude and the Dark Side of Human Nature
Smith, Richard H. (Professor of Psychology, Professor of Psychology, University of Kentucky)
Few people confess easily to taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others. Maybe this is why there is no word for the feeling in English. And so schadenfreude, that beguiling German word, is borrowed to label the experience. This book, written by one of the world's foremost scholars of envy and shame, explores the emotion we dare not admit. Although schadenfreude is hardly a feeling to nourish in oneself or to encourage as a cultural habit, Smith argues that there isno getting rid of it, when the misfortunes of others can lead to our benefit.
