140. The psychology of envy
Envy is ingrained into our human psyche, each and every one of us has, at times, compared ourselves to someone who has more, or possesses a quality or a level of success that we don't, and felt that familiar spike of pain. In today's episode we break down the psychology behind envy, and why it reflects a deeper insecurity in ourselves we are not ready to recognise. We explore:
- The prevalence of envy in our 20s
- The primal origins of envy
- Envy vs. Jealousy vs. Greed
- How envy shows up in our behaviour
- How to stop comparing ourselves to others
- How to be satisfied with what we have
