The Grudge Journal

di Jonathan Barry (Autore)

AI Voice Eric Smith (Narratore)

Independently Published, 2026

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Admit it. There is something, and by something I mean someone, and by someone I mean a specific person, that you have not forgiven, that you have not forgotten, and that you will absolutely be bringing up at the most inconvenient moment possible, probably years from now, probably at a dinner party, probably with a smile that scares the person across from you. You know exactly who they are. You know the date, the time, and possibly the outfit they were wearing. The world has a lot of advice for people like us, and almost all of it is designed to make us feel guilty. Forgive and forget. Let it go. Choose happiness. I have nothing against gratitude, but I have noticed something important about the people who preach these things the loudest: they are almost never the ones who have actually been wronged. Here is the uncomfortable truth. Suppressing a genuine grievance does not make it disappear. It makes it go underground. The alternative is not an angry confrontation in the middle of a restaurant. The alternative is writing it down, and the research is genuinely solid, from a tradition psychologists have been studying since the 1980s. Inside, you will find: - The case for pettiness, and why your grudges are a compass and a source of material - The Grudge Ledger, the centerpiece of the whole practice - The severity scale and the taxonomy of offenders - The witness statement method and the language of pettiness - Receipts in the digital age and the unwritten rules of grudge etiquette - The lifecycle of a grudge and the ceremony of release Document, grade, revisit, release. A well-kept grudge is not a weakness, and it is a form of self-respect. Take your pettiness seriously enough to write it down, and you will stop being bitter, tired, and impossible to sit next to at a wedding.
