Episode 3448:
Keith Wilson delves into the often-misunderstood emotion of envy, distinguishing it from jealousy and explaining its roots in feelings of injustice and inequality. By understanding how envy distorts perceptions and fosters unhappiness, he offers a path toward overcoming it through self-awareness, gratitude, and a focus on personal growth rather than comparison.

Quotes to ponder:
"Envy is when you don’t possess something and don’t want anyone else to have it, either."
"Getting the car your neighbor has, having a baby, showing off an achievement, going on vacation, or making the best-seller list will not, repeat, NOT make you, me, or anyone happy for more than a day or two."
"Blind yourself to the advantages of others. Focus on what you do have, the privileges you enjoy that others may wish they had."
