The Science of Revenge by James Kimmel explores why humans feel such a powerful urge to seek revenge and why acting on it rarely brings peace. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and real-life cases, the book explains how revenge activates the brain’s reward system, creating a temporary emotional high that often leads to long-term harm. Kimmel shows how resentment, rumination, and anger trap people in cycles of suffering. He also offers healthier alternatives to revenge, such as forgiveness, justice, and emotional regulation. The book provides deep insight into human behavior and teaches how letting go of revenge can restore clarity, control, and inner freedom.
