140. The psychology of envy

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.

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
