Largely perceived as a negative emotion, jealousy is a feeling that many encounter, but few are taught to truly master. We get so caught up in the dark parts of jealously, that we fail to see how much light it actually holds. In her talk, depth psychologist Joli Hamilton explains the imperfect process of coming to terms with feelings of jealousy, and how we are able to use that to find within ourselves jealousy's opposite: compersion, or feeling joy for another's joy.
