Wellbeing: The Danger of Comparison Class of 2019

“When we derive a sense of worth based on how we are doing relative to others, we place our happiness in a variable that is completely beyond our control” - Dr Tim Bono.
Why is everyone my age married and having kids? Oh jeez, she’s already 5 years into her career and I have no idea! In today’s social media driven society, it is often hard, if not impossible, to avoid comparing yourself to your peers. So, in this episode, we will discuss the role of different platforms in showcasing unrealistic lifestyles and goals and, in doing so, try and determine how to have a healthier relationship with social media.
Following on from our talk about wellbeing, here are some good places to go if you want some more information or just need a little support:
