Grudge of the Week

Each week, Sophie will be analysing a new grudge and applying cutting-edge grudge science to your true stories, and a few of her own.

“One day, I had a breakthrough: it wasn’t that I couldn’t give up my grudges. It was that I didn’t want to — because they were wondrous things and the very route to positivity and wellbeing that I was after!”

HOW TO HOLD A GRUDGE — THE PODCAST

Join internationally bestselling crime writer and grudge-holder extraordinaire Sophie Hannah to find out all about the power of grudges to transform your life for the better and to make the world a more peaceful and compassionate place.
Sophie will be joined by psychotherapist Helen Acton, meditation teacher, coach and emotional freedom therapist Anne Grey, and hilariously witty and wise poet, Nic Aubury.

If there’s a specific aspect of grudges that you’d like Sophie to discuss on the podcast, or if you have a question, email grudgescanbegood@gmail.com. You will soon be able to find the podcast on Twitter: @grudgesaregreat.

REVIEWS

Grazia Magazine

‘Very entertaining. The philosophy underlying this book is completely spot-on.’

Hannah Beckerman on the Sara Cox show, Radio 2

‘Hannah is entertaining company and the book is even more amusing…a hilarious compendium of — with just a few truly tragic exceptions — everyday pettiness, tactlessness and fundamental oddness.’

The Times

‘Have you seen @sophiehannahCB1 ‘s book, How To Hold A Grudge? It’s how to do it without spreading hate! Genius.’

practice of holding grudges’.

Steve Wright, Radio 2

SIX STEPS FROM RESENTMENT TO CONTENTMENT

“All we need to do is recognise grudges as a good thing and soon everyone will be proud to drag their secret stash out of the cupboard under the stairs and display them proudly in a new, shiny grudge cabinet in the best lounge.”

The Grudge Grading System

Grudges are precious, like diamonds. Test your grudge in my carat-based system!

“I’m actually a little delighted and grateful for each new grudge I create — and, by extension, to the people who provide me with the sparking incidents that allow me to create them and learn from them. Once you start to feel that way, you will find yourself feeling more forgiving without even trying.”
