Comparisonitis

A Guide to Finding Happiness in a Social Media World

De: Melissa Ambrosini

Narrado por: Melissa Ambrosini

All it takes is the hint of someone doing or having something you perceive as 'better' than you, and it hits. A feeling takes over - intense, blinding, gutting. Your brain starts spinning with toxic thoughts about yourself (or others), and you're left feeling ashamed, guilty and even worthless.

It's called comparisonitis. And if you've suffered from it, you're not alone.

Comparisonitis is a contagious, socially transmitted condition that occurs when you compare yourself to others so frequently and fiercely that you're left paralysed, with your confidence in tatters and your self-worth plummeting. It may sound trivial, but this affliction can have serious adverse effects on our mental health, leading to depression, anxiety, overthinking and regret.

To make matters worse, our comparison culture is only expanding. Thanks to social media, we have more opportunities to compare ourselves than ever before, and even kids are falling into the trap.

From best-selling author Melissa Ambrosini, Comparisonitis puts this toxic condition under the microscope, unpacking the symptoms and offering practical tips you can start using immediately to break the cycle of comparison, free up mental bandwidth and live life on your own terms.

Described as a 'self-help guru' by Elle magazine, Melissa has experienced the effects of comparisonitis first hand, having worked extensively in industries like acting, modelling and dancing where comparison culture is not only rampant but openly encouraged.

Melissa knows all too well how comparisonitis is infecting our minds and hurting our hearts, and in this audiobook, she'll help you heal from this disease, liberate your headspace and raise your self-worth so radically that you'll never let comparison rob you of your joy and happiness again.

Like a warm hug!!

This book is beautiful! Melissa’s book, Mastering Your Mean Girl, changed my life 3+ years ago as one of my FIRST personal development books. I recommend it often!

I absolutely recommend this book for every women, as I think we ALL suffer comparisonitis!!!

Another great book by Melissa!

Loved it! Took away so many pearls of wisdom. If you have suffered from comparing yourself to others this book is what you need!

Just what I needed

I absolutely loved this book, it came just when I needed it. It helped me to really see that it's not just me who has struggled with comparisonitis.
Thank you Melissa.

A must read for anyone who doubts themselves!

I had mommy guilt for 30 years! 30! After listening to that chapter I realize that I was a great mom. How I needed this book then. I am going to follow all of the guidance and quit comparing myself to others, we all have different stories. Doesn't matter if you are a man or woman, 12, 22, 42 or 62, there is something everyone can take away from this book.

Beautiful & Healing Reading!

I LOVED EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE OF THIS BOOK. It was so uplifting, wise, and compassionate. I love myself more because of it. Thanks so much, Melissa. This is yet again another wonderful book written and read by the author 😀.

I would like to thank Melissa Ambrosini for creating that fantastic book to us.That helps me discover that unhealthy type of comparison,which comaprisonitis that can leads some people to suicide,I really enjoyed listening to that beautiful book that helps me a lot.

10/10 highly recommend

I love this book this is the first book I finished in a very long time . Cant wait to read or hear about mastering your mean girl.

Highly disappointed

I was looking forward to hearing this book thought it would be a great self help book but now I would like a full refund. As soon as the author mentioned her “white privilege” I stopped listening. If she is going to use this book to apologize for who she is then I can’t view this as a self help book at all!!! Leave your agendas aside and stick to what this book is supposed to be about!!

Ok book

Helpful book but a lot of talky talky text that are unnecessary. Could’ve been 1h great book
