Podcast #249: The Benefits of Pride

Pride. It’s been called one of the deadly sins.

But what if pride holds the key to human success and flourishing?

Well, that’s the argument my guest makes in her book, Take Pride. Her name is Jessica Tracy, and she’s a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. Today on the show Jessica and I discuss why pride gets a bad rap, the different kinds of pride that exist, and how feeling the good kind of pride is essential to growth, development, and even cooperation. We also discuss how men and women experience and express pride differently.
