The Green Monster - Envy and Jealousy

Two of the most taboo emotions we know - envy and jealousy - are examined in this event. What actually happens in the brain and psyche when others' luck or love triggers something uncomfortable in us? And why does shame so often follow in its wake?

Authorized psychologist and Ph.D. in neuropsychology from Copenhagen University Katrine Sværke, and Alfred Sköld, lecturer in psychology at Aalborg University, tackle the questions. Science journalist Line Friis Frederiksen moderates the conversation.

The event is part of the Folk University's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds and takes place in the Rampen room at the Main Library.
