Riassunto

Discover freedom, authenticity, and joy when you stop letting competition and jealousy hijack your life.

Do you find yourself measuring your value against your friend’s house, body, marriage, resume, paycheck, organic garden, or Pinterest-worthy holiday décor, and coming up lacking? Do your college roommate’s Instagram snapshots bear little resemblance to the scene at your house this morning?

Excessive comparison and competition sap our energy and steal our joy. Our friends become our audience and judges, and our kids become part of our brand. Add social media’s constant invitation to post and peruse, and it’s no wonder that we’re left exhausted, discontent, and lonely. Thankfully, there is another way!

With refreshing candor and humor, Kay Wyma shares her experiences with comparison living and offers readers the simple remedies that helped her and her family reboot their perspective and discover freedom, authenticity, and joy.

Recensione

Kay Wills Wyma once again champions a much-needed culture shift with heartfelt insight she challenges us to choose contentment over comparison. I m Happy for You gently exposes the growing obsession with self-promotion and one-upmanship that s wearing us all out and, thankfully, offers wise solutions. --Tracey Eyster, Founder of FamilyLife's MomLifeToday.com; author of Be the Mom and Beautiful Mess

Kay Wills Wyma captured my attention with her belly-laughing good storytelling steeped in reality as she tackled a question that s long overdue for an honest answer: What should we do about this comparison trap we find ourselves falling into daily? When comparison steals contentment, it s a problem that demands a solution. Kay gives it to us in a way that is easy on the heart and good for the soul. --Elisa Pulliam, author and life coach

Who knew comparison was so prevalent and destructive? Awakening to this alone is worth the time invested in reading this honest and sometimes raw literary gem. Comparison s thievery of joy is arrested by the just let it go practicality Kay offers so transparently and humorously. It might just put you on the path toward contentment and gratitude, a road less traveled. --Robin Pou, executive coach and attorney mediator; coauthor of Performance Intelligence at Work
