What if the most dangerous weapon sabotaging your happiness, confidence, and momentum isn’t out there but something you use against yourself every single day? In this mashup episode, I’m bringing together powerful conversations that expose one of the biggest silent killers of fulfillment and success: comparison. I sit down with Lewis Howes, Rachel Hollis, Dr. Robert Waldinger, and Dean Graziosi to unpack how comparison quietly drains our joy, distorts our self worth, and keeps us stuck chasing someone else’s version of success instead of our own. I break down why comparison is the fastest pathway to unhappiness and how it sneaks into every area of our lives, from our bodies and finances to our relationships and sense of purpose. You will hear me explain why it is never your current situation that creates misery, but the story you tell yourself when you compare it to a different time or a different person. This episode is about learning when comparison must be put down and when it can be used strategically as leverage to create real change. Lewis Howes opens up about the internal pressure to measure up and how comparison nearly stole his peace during seasons of growth. Rachel Hollis shares why comparison is the death of joy, especially in a world fueled by social media highlight reels, and how shifting your focus inward restores confidence and clarity. Dr. Robert Waldinger brings the science, revealing what decades of research say about happiness, fulfillment, and why chasing external validation never delivers lasting satisfaction. And Dean Graziosi gets real about how comparison can either paralyze you or fuel your next level, depending on how you use it. This mashup will challenge you to separate happiness from achievement, and to understand the difference between your higher self and lower self. I walk you through how to stop competing in areas where comparison only creates pain, while learning to harness it intentionally when it is time to grow, improve, and evolve. If you have ever felt behind, unfulfilled, or quietly frustrated despite doing “everything right,” this conversation will hit home. By the end of this episode, I want you to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control of your internal world. You were never meant to win someone else’s race. You were meant to master your own lane, live with intention, and build a life rooted in peace, progress, and purpose. Key Takeaways Why comparison is the root cause of unhappiness in nearly every area of life The difference between using comparison for misery versus using it for motivation How social media amplifies comparison and what to do to protect your peace What decades of happiness research reveal about fulfillment and self acceptance How to shift from external validation to internal confidence When comparison can be used as leverage to create meaningful change The mindset shift that allows you to pursue success without sacrificing joy This episode will help you put the weapon down when it is hurting you, and pick it up only when it can truly serve you. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.
