The Strategic Cancellation of Grudges
Is it possible, or desirable, to cancel a grudge when the benefits of doing so would be considerable, in a situation where you would definitely not annul the grudge in exchange for no upside? Sophie and Nic discuss whether this is the best route, how one might pursue it, and whether it might be more possible and desirable to find a different sort of upside while keeping the grudge.

Customer Reviews
Love this
I really love Sophie’s take on holding a grudge and her voice is so calming and reassuring. It feels like having a conversation with a wise friend. Just love it - lots of thought-provoking topics and the guests are great too - showing differences of opinion which helps shape my own. Brilliant! ❤️
So interesting and sensible
I LOVE this podcast it’s always so interesting with some great ways of looking and dealing with difficult or upsetting situations. I really like Sophie’s guests too they also bring a great deal to the table. It’s so refreshing to listen to 2 people who sometimes have a difference of opinion discuss it in an open, honest and non-judgemental way. There is also a lot humour too. All this and Sophie writes great thrillers 🙂 Thank you
Such an original and interesting podcast
I love this podcast. Sophie is a natural presenter and I always find something useful to take away from each and every episode.
