140. The psychology of envy

33 min • 2 november 2023

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
