Comparison is almost always focused on the outside. How do we look, how do others see us? Comparing ourselves to others is a losing game under the best circumstances, but we tend to stack the deck against ourselves when we start comparing our insides to other people's outsides.
Ever feel like social media has you constantly comparing yourself to others? In this mini-episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer tackles the age-old issues of envy and comparison. Drawing inspiration from Teddy Roosevelt's famous quote, 'comparison is the thief of joy', Eric dives into how these emotions can rob us of our happiness and self-worth.
He even brings in historical perspectives, like how envy was considered a deadly sin in Dante's Inferno, to show that these feelings have been plaguing humanity for centuries. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Eric shares practical strategies to manage envy and comparison. From focusing on the feelings we want to achieve to practicing goodwill towards others, he offers actionable tips that anyone can use.
He also touches on the concept of opportunity cost, reminding us that in chasing what we don't have, we often overlook what we do. This episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with these common but corrosive emotions.
