Schadenfreude:
A hilarious quest to understand life's ultimate guilty pleasure
In Schadenfreude, historian of emotions Tiffany Watt Smith offers expert insight and advice. Ranging across thinkers from Nietzsche to Homer Simpson, investigating the latest scientific research, and collecting some outrageous confessions on the way - she reveals how everyone, babies, nuns, your most trusted friends, are enjoying your misfortunes. But rather than an emotional glitch, she argues, Schadenfreude can reveal profound truths about our relationships with others and our sense of who we are.
The Book of Human Emotions:
The Book of Human Emotions is a gleeful, thoughtful collection of 156 feelings, both rare and familiar. Each has its own story, and reveals the strange forces which shape our rich and varied internal worlds. In reading it, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone), uncover the secret histories of boredom and confidence, and gain unexpected insights into why we feel the way we do.
Bad Friend:
For as long as women have had friends, they've got us drunk, spilled our secrets, bailed on plans and meddled where we wished they wouldn't. They've also held back our hair, sat with us while we cried and made us feel altogether invincible. Maybe none of us is perfect.
Stirred by her own disappointments in friendship, cultural historian Tiffany Watt Smith sets out in pursuit of the rule-breaking women who offer a messier, more expansive vision of the connection we just might need the most.
