Why Do We Compare Ourselves? And How to Learn from Comparisons

We all compare ourselves. It's human nature! In this episode we learn about the social comparison theory made famous by Leon Festinger in 1954, how to compare ourselves in a less judgmental way, what it means to make temporal comparisons and how we can learn from the comparison tricks people use with money.  Instead of trying to stop the comparison tide completely, this episode is about using our natural ability to compare in a way that is more helpful for you and your finances.

As always, I love to hear from you! If you like this episode or others, please share with a friend, leave a rating or review, or email me at onelessthingpodcast@gmail.com. Thanks!
