Focusing On Yourself Not Your Peers - Dr Grace Lordan
"One of the most interesting things that comes out of the happiness economics literature for me is that our actual income doesn't have a huge imprint on our happiness, our relative income, relative to the peer group we're comparing ourselves to does and that is really weird so kind of getting people to think about how do I measure progress, what does progress actually look like for me and encouraging people to compare themselves to themselves last week and yesterday and also think about how they're moving towards that big thinking goal", Dr Grace Lordan discussed with me about focusing on yourself not your peers on Episode 6 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. Grace is the author of "Think Big" which was published earlier this year.
