Here's a phrase we often come across: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” This is absolutely true! Unfortunately, we’re biologically wired to seek status and recognition, and with that evolutionary need comes comparison. It’s inevitable. So today, instead of telling you not to compare, we’re giving you the practical tools that will allow you to do it in a healthy way. You’ll learn about the game-changing distinction between being known versus being recognized that could transform how you think about status; we’ll talk about how to do build an authentic identity and value system in a world that’s obsessed with status and personal branding; and we’ll break down the ways to seek recognition that will leave you feeling inspired rather than drained.
