Description:

When was the last time you compared yourself to someone else? A couple of days ago? More likely it was just hours ago, perhaps only minutes! Most of us struggle for affirmation of our personal significance by playing the comparison game. How do we measure up to others, what they have or what they’ve achieved? What is our status when compared to the expectations of others? How do we measure up to our own often unrealistic expectations of ourselves? A healthy competitive spirit can quickly degenerate into addictive, self-destructive playing of the comparison game, a game that we inevitably lose! The Comparison Game (How to Disqualify Yourself from Playing), honestly addresses my own struggle with an unhealthy comparison of myself to others and the unreasonable expectations I sometimes place upon myself. The book invites the reader on a personal journey of self-discovery that can result in overcoming the addictive attitudes, thoughts, and actions that keep us playing the comparison game.
