About this listen
Do you always compare yourself to others?
Most bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, because bronze medalists compare themselves with all the people who competed but won no medal at all, while the silver medalists compare themselves with the gold medal winners and torture themselves with the belief that they could have won the gold medal. Our perception of the society around us is developed through our observation and understanding. We see, meet, and communicate with hundreds of people through all phases of our lives. We learn about other people, and through these experiences we learn about ourselves. This is the theory of comparison.
People come to know themselves by evaluating the successes, beliefs, and attitudes of the people around them. Regardless of positive or negative, upward or downward, social and emotional comparison dictates the decisions and beliefs of everyone in today's modern society.
In this guide we will deconstruct the habits and perceptions that lead to the consistent comparisons we make in our daily lives. We will discuss reasons behind this phenomenon and elaborate on it by providing information about the long-term effects of such habits.
Here is a preview of what we will discuss:
- Real-life scenarios of how people are comparing themselves to others
- Why comparisons are always unfair
- How to get out of this comparing mentality
- Why comparisons often result in resentment
- How to compare with yourself for improvement
Comparing with others may seem like a minor glitch in our thought process. But through this guide, we will expand on the impact of this seemingly minor habit. How social comparison affects our lives and how we attempt to combat these practices are among the issues tackled in this book. We will also explore and understand the social structures that construct people's opinions and why happiness and success are measured through the process of comparison rather than self-exploration.

It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace. From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only five percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

Have you ever wanted to be more confident or love your imperfections? Our self-esteem ends up determining who we are and how we approach life. Hence, you cannot turn a blind eye to your low self-esteem. The feelings you possess about yourself have the capability to not only affect you, but also others in the process. When your self-esteem and confidence levels are low, you will start losing trust in yourself and that can easily convert into feelings of frustration. Bit by bit, this pent-up frustration starts eating away at your happiness.

You know what the wealthiest of people of all times have in common? Self-discipline. This blend of two seemingly unimportant terms combined by a hyphen has the power to make or break your life, career, and aspirations. It is that one trait that can help turn tables and bridge the gap between you and your goals. It’s easy to get distracted by the things around us, which leads to deviation from the right path. Even comparatively affluent people leading happy lives are bereft of this magical trait, and this is exactly what is keeping them from rising to the apex.

You hold the secret to be a successful individual and you can do it the simple way. You do not need to go to college; you do not have to spend decades to understand or practice new skills; and also you do not need to spend tens of thousands of hard earned bucks. You see, your life is exactly like a film. You have got lead roles, a supporting cast, magnificent events, and a number of twists in the storyline. It is clear you are the primary character on your life picture. Just as significant, however, is you are the manager. The manager can make the picture - or split it.

The best way to learn what’s possible is to look at what others have done. It is easier to believe you can accomplish something if others before you have shown the path to be walked upon. Moreover, some things you can tell yourself will get you through even the toughest of days, and these are all included in this motivational guide. How you can achieve more success is also addressed. The steps you need to take to achieve success, in a general sense, are typically similar. Knowing them is one thing. Taking those steps after listening to this, and taking action, is another.

Underwhelming
Narrator sounds like a news anchor. Stories and examples are unoriginal and trite (social media, rich bachelor vs single income father). Was really hoping for something more challenging. Couldn't get through it, glad it was only $3.
