Episode Synopsis

In Episode 51, Billy Donnelly explores the dangerous game of comparing yourself to others and the toll it can take on your mental health. He discusses why we do it and what contributes to that type of mindset. But he also takes it one step further by raising a different level of comparison that he's struggled with lately, and that is of comparing against his potential and the best version of himself. That avenue opens up all sorts of examinations about past choices, past failures, past regrets, etc. In the end, he tries to find the best way to limit the comparing thoughts, so they don't control the way we think about our lives in the present by putting more focus on where we'd like to be.
