The Envy Economy explores why comparison can make even extraordinary success feel like it's never enough. Using Silicon Valley as a model of envy at scale, I look at how the scoreboards we carry around shape our emotions, behavior, and health.

In my clinic and workshops, I'm increasingly seeing envy and comparison beneath a surprising amount of emotional distress and metabolic diseae. Some areas I discuss include:

  • Why envy is so difficult to admit, even to ourselves
  • How family, culture, and environment program our internal scoreboards
  • Why we often envy people who are most similar to us
  • Silicon Valley lessons of envy at scale
  • The impact of envy and competitition on parenting
  • How to free ourselves from the effects of envy
