When was the last time your felt Freudenfreude?

Even non-German speakers are familiar with the German word Schadenfreude, or pleasure derived from someone else's misfortune. But have you ever heard of Freudenfreude? According to social scientists, it "describes the bliss we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us." Even if it's not a real German word, it's a great concept to include in your day to day! Learn more about what Freudenfreude means in this article by the New York Times.
