Can envy and jealousy lead to societal collapse? Comedian and deliverer of sharp political commentary Janeane Garofalo reflects on envy in her realm as a performer and in the wider socio-political environment of our day, and, even as a dog-walker. Dr. Kevin Ochsner brings his research on emotion to recognize how we can become more self-aware, and less self-conscious.
“I envy someone's youth sometimes, or just, great apartments.” - Jeaneane Garofalo
