Summary:
The host of the #1 podcast The Melissa Ambrosini Show puts the condition of Comparisonitis under the microscope, unpacking the symptoms, and offering practical tips you can start using immediately to break the cycle of comparison, free up mental bandwidth, and live life on your own terms.
It creeps up on you without warning: the felling that someone is doing or having something you perceive as 'better' than you. The feeling is intense, blinding, gutting; your brain starts spinning with toxic thoughts, and you are left feeling ashamed, guilty, and even worthless. Comparisonitis may sound trivial, but this affliction can have serious adverse effects on our mental health, leading to depression, anxiety, overthinking, and regret. And thanks to social media, we have more opportunities to compare ourselves than ever before. Even kids are falling into the trap. Ambrosini helps you liberate your headspace and raise your self-worth so radically that you'll never let comparison rob you of your joy and happiness again. -- adapted from back cover
