In a world desperately and daily seeking joy and fulfillment, why is it that sorrow and sadness in songs and stories sell? In this episode, Dennis and Meg discuss the role of sadness in the marketplace, specifically focusing on movies, music, and books.
Do some industries lend themselves well to monetizing sadness while others do not? Looking internally, how does our own sadness affect the things we buy, listen to, and read? Meg and Dennis discuss this through the lens of painful events in their own lives.
