2. Comparison is the Thief of Joy

This week’s episode focuses on the famous quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” We discuss the social comparison theory, the potentially negative consequences of comparison, and how we can stop the often-destructive habit of comparing ourselves to our friends and family…and to virtuoso pianists on Tik Tok.
