James Altucher has written about a cure for comparison.
Usually, when we compare ourselves to someone, we compare ourselves to a select few aspects of their life (their house, their good looks, or their professional success, etc.).
Instead, James writes, “picture that you can change places in every way with them. But then it’s forever…Would you do it.”
Usually—as Seinfeld’s story illustrates—the answer is…no, you wouldn’t want their whole life.
