#89 Envy: What It Means and Why It Matters with Jake Desyllas

In this episode, I’m sharing a recent conversation with Jake (host of The Voluntary Life and my husband) about the book Envy: A Theory of Social Behaviour by Helmut Schoek.

Envy is one of those topics that is still a huge taboo, and consequently doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves. It’s something we all experience, yet it’s also difficult to talking about.

In this conversation, we cover some of the book’s key ideas, interesting hypotheses about why we experience envy, the difference between envy and jealousy and what to do when you experience envy.
