You have probably done something to someone out of spite. Most people have. Interestingly, humans are just about the only creature on earth that acts out of spite.

That’s spite. Still, spite may not be all bad. It can actually be useful. Listen as Simon reveals why we do things out of spite and why spite may be an important tool we use to keep each other honest. Simon is author of the book Spite: The Upside of Your Dark Side (https://amzn.to/2OO8FJu)
