Listen as Simon explains why we do things out of spite and why spite may be an important force in keeping us all honest with each other. Simon is author of the book Spite: The Upside of Your Dark Side (https://amzn.to/2OO8FJu) You know when you are having a bad day…? And it seems that the worse it gets - the worse it gets?
