Why Does Revenge Feel So Good?: Interview with James Kimmel Jr, author of The Science of Revenge.

Why does revenge feel so good? Why can it be so difficult to let go? And how do we break free from it?

In this fascinating conversation for The Nonviolent Gospel Network, Stef Miles speaks with James Kimmel Jr., author of The Science of Revenge, about what happens in our brains when we feel wronged, why grievance and revenge can become strangely addictive, and how we might break the cycle.

We explore what this emerging science might teach us about Jesus’ radical call to forgiveness and enemy-love, and the importance of spiritual formation in shaping people capable of living differently in a world so often caught in cycles of grievance and retaliation.
