A very interesting and valuable analysis of envy.
An interesting book that offers an exploration of a universal emotion that has remained largely hidden from view! The author develops an original perspective on envy integrating thoughts by a large panel of authors coming from social sciences and humanities as well as clinical observations related to his activity as a psychologist. A living and personal essay one reads with pleasure.
This is one of the best books that I have ever read on any emotion, but envy especially. . . . Gressel covers a remarkable range of scholarly work on envy, from religious treatments, tough psychoanalytic ideas, to contemporary experimental work in social psychology. He weaves his consistently innovative analysis of these perspectives with well-chosen interviews with people who speak frankly about their experiences with envy. These interviews, as well as candid accounts of his own struggles with envy, help keep Gressel's analysis grounded in the everyday world.
