Description
Hardcover - 256 pages (2020) Spite is an instinct that can drive us to behave in ways we might later regret. Simon McCarthy-Jones explores this complex emotion, drawing on psychology, current affairs and literature to understand its role in our lives. While spite can lead to destructive behaviour, it also has a more nuanced function - as a social leveller, enabler of defiance and source of freedom. By examining the evolutionary benefits of spite, McCarthy-Jones offers a fresh perspective on this often-maligned emotion. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of our darker impulses, and how they can shape our relationships and behaviour.
