A feeling takes over-intense, blinding, gutting. Your brain starts spinning with toxic thoughts about yourself (or others), and you're left feeling ashamed, guilty, and even worthless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's called comparisonitis. And if you've suffered from it, you're NOT alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComparisonitis is a contagious, socially transmitted condition that occurs when you compare yourself to others so frequently and fiercely that you're left paralyzed, with your confidence in tatters and your self-worth plummeting. It may sound trivial, but this affliction can have serious adverse effects on our mental health, leading to depression, anxiety, overthinking, and regret. To make matters worse, our comparison culture is only expanding. Thanks to social media, we have more opportunities to compare ourselves than ever before, and even kids are falling into the trap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescribed as a 'self-help guru' by Elle magazine, Melissa has experienced the effects of comparisonitis first hand, having worked extensively in industries like acting, modeling and dancing where comparison culture is not only rampant but openly encouraged.  Melissa knows all too well how comparisonitis is infecting our minds and hurting our hearts, and in this book, she'll help you heal from this disease, liberate your headspace, and raise your self-worth so radically that you'll never let comparison rob you of your joy and happiness again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melissa Ambrosini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46897486102677,"sku":"9781460759691","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781460759691_317c589d-33a3-4ba7-8af8-fd785493448c.jpg?v=1776888295","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781460759691_comparisonitis","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
