COURSE
Envy And Social Comparison: Find Your Next Step
With Jon Brooks
Envy is uncomfortable, so we tend to hide it, judge it or turn it against ourselves. This course looks directly at envy, jealousy and social comparison. Drawing in part on Alain de Botton's philosophical psychology, you will learn how malicious envy works, separate useful information from the story built around it, and choose a better response. You will still compare sometimes. The practice is noticing it sooner, protecting your self-worth and deciding what, if anything, the feeling is asking you to do.

Much food for thought in this short yet highly insightful course. Nice to discover this old dog (me) can learn some new helpful tricks! Thank you Jon for sharing your wisdom. 🙏🏻🌸

Refreshingly honest and so needed, and a much more empowering way to view envy as a human experience and to turn it into something useful than to demonise or ignore it. Thank you for this. It is so rare to hear someone dive into this topic.

Yeah I really loved the new perspective on envy this course offers, feels like a really useful reframe that I’ve never considered before or heard anywhere else. I’ll definitely be paying more attention to the next time I feel envious!
