When you hear your friend passed an exam that you had failed earlier, will you share her happiness If you can feel the joy, congratulations! Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call Freudenfreude. Studies found that Freudenfreude contributes to kind acts, such as helping others. Celebrating the personal victories of other people can bring on more of our own.
17 Sometimes, your loss might really sting, making Freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Still, generating Freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
A．It is a term that describes the joy we feel when someone else succeeds.
B．You might ask: “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week ”
C．To do this, try giving others credit for their support that leads to your own.
D．While the benefits of Freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily.
E．To better understand Freudenfreude, it is important to realize that it is a win-win.

Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.
