Comparison, Flipped: Comparing Yourself With Yourself Feat. Emma Lovewell

You can’t compare your insides to somebody else’s outsides! In our age of anxiety and social media, we all engage in sometimes subtle, and sometimes overt, comparison all day long — to our peers, to our coworkers, to our old high school crushes, to the biggest celebrities on the planet. Let’s flip that around! Peloton Instructor Emma Lovewell joins us to talk about how to find inspiration from her peers instead of comparing herself. Princeton University Psychologist Susan Fiske, author of “Envy Up, Scorn Down”, joins us to talk about how we change our target of comparison to be ourselves vs ourselves instead of ourselves vs everyone else. 

Today’s episode features Emma Lovewell (@emmalovewell) and Susan Fiske (fiskelab.org).
