Few people will easily admit to taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others. But who doesn't enjoy it when an arrogant but untalented contestant is humiliated on American Idol, or when the embarrassing vice of a self-righteous politician is exposed, or even when an envied friend suffers a small setback? The truth is that joy in someone else's pain-known by the German word schadenfreude--permeates our society. In The Joy of Pain, psychologist Richard Smith, one of the world's foremost authorities on envy and shame, sheds much light on a feeling we dare not admit. Smith argues that schadenfreude is a natural human emotion, one worth taking a closer look at, as it reveals much about who we are as human beings. We have a passion for justice. Sometimes, schadenfreude can feel like getting one's revenge, when the suffering person has previously harmed us. But most of us are also motivated to feel good about ourselves, Smith notes, and look for ways to maintain a positive sense of self. One common way to do this is to compare ourselves to others and find areas where we are better. Similarly, the downfall of others--especially when they have seemed superior to us--can lead to a boost in our self-esteem, a lessening of feelings of inferiority. This is often at the root of schadenfreude. As the author points out, most instances of schadenfreude are harmless, on par with the pleasures of light gossip. Yet we must also be mindful that envy can motivate, without full awareness, the engineering of the misfortune we delight in. And envy-induced aggression can take us into dark territory indeed, as Smith shows as he examines the role of envy and schadenfreude in the Nazi persecution of the Jews. Filled with engaging examples of schadenfreude, from popular reality shows to the Duke-Kentucky basketball rivalry, The Joy of Pain provides an intriguing glimpse into a hidden corner of the human psyche.

Navigating one’s way through everyday life is akin to riding a rollercoaster: We ‘ooh’ and ‘ah’ through all the twists and turns, laughing loudly along the way. Out of nowhere there is a reality check waiting for passengers at ride’s end—the inevitable big drop! Laughs turn to screams; we hold on for dear life and hope the safety equipment is in proper working order. The coaster stops, we touch ground safely, and move on with our lives. In a nutshell, life is the ultimate roller coaster filled with loads of twists and turns, coupled with its highs and lows. We are all moved through life by emotions that, at times, dictate how we live. However, it isn’t healthy to live on emotions alone. Sometimes we have to use common sense and take a step back to get a better view of what lies ahead. When we learn to control our emotions, the better equipped we become to handle what falls our way. Joy & Pain/Life Happens is a compilation of my personal views on how to deal with life’s ups and downs. I hope you, the reader, find it enjoyable, interesting, and insightful.

In Joy in the Midst of Pain, Dr. Roman shares her story and stories of "Pain Warriors" and the holistic methods (physical, emotional and spiritual wellness) they use to treat their pain and live full and joyful lives. The book offers five principles that led to discovering that joy is internal, it is something we receive and it must be nurtured and tended to. Dr. Roman believes the reader will be encouraged to start their own journey of living in joy in the midst of anything painful that life brings their way. The reader will learn that it is possible to portray a realistic image of being in pain without letting the pain define us, and confirm that joy is an attitude of the heart and spirit.

The bicycle is fast becoming a ubiquitous form of transportation in cities all over the world, making our urban spaces more efficient, more livable and healthier. But many of those bicycles disappear into basements and garages when the warm months end, parked there by owners fearful of the cold, snow and ice that winter brings. But does it have to be that way? Canadian writer and journalist Tom Babin started questioning this dogma after being stuck in winter commuter traffic one dreary and cold December morning and dreaming about the happiness that bicycle commuting had brought him all summer long. So he did something about it. He pulled on some thermal underwear, dragged his bike down from the rafters of his garage and set out on a mission to answer a simple but beguiling question: is it possible to happily ride a bike in winter? That question took him places he never expected. Over years of trial and error, research and more than his share of snow and ice, he discovered an unknown history of biking for snow and ice, and a new generation designed to make riding in winter safe and fun. He unearthed the world's most bike-friendly winter city and some new approaches to winter cycling from places all over the world. He also looked inward, to discover how the modern world shapes our attitudes toward winter. And perhaps most importantly, he discovered the unique kind of bliss that can only come by pedalling through softly falling snow on a quiet winter night.

'A delightful book, full of jokes and confessions' Guardian 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. Frank, warm and laugh-out-loud funny, Schadenfreude makes the case for thinking afresh about this much-maligned emotion - and perhaps, even, embracing it.
