Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and thinking that the other person is going to get sick or die. Maybe you want to dismiss grudges, like they're small, petty things just hanging out in the back of your mind. Or maybe you wear them like badges of honor that you never want to forget. We put a call out and we could verify that people have grudges. Just swearing a lot on this podcast.

Maybe you want to dismiss your grudges, like they’re petty incidents. Or maybe you hold them tightly, and wear them like badges of honor. Either way, we have them. And we’re taking the view that there’s more going on with our grudges than we think.

Today, we talk with Sophie Hannah, author of "How to Hold a Grudge," and meditation teacher Matthew Hepburn, for perspective on what triggers our grudges in the first place – and how holding them can actually be good for us. We also listen to some of your grudge stories.
