I'm Happy for You (Sort of…Not Really)

Finding Contentment in a Culture of Comparison

By: Kay Wyma

Narrated by: Tracy Brunjes

Is comparison living hijacking your life?

Do you find yourself measuring your value against your friend's house, body, marriage, résumé, paycheck, organic garden, or Pinterest-worthy holiday decor 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, discontented, and lonely. Thankfully there is another way.

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

Great book

Great book. Love the prospective it gives and how to think and handle different situations. Great insight.

Loose messaging and religion baked in

I learned very little about how to deal with comparison in my life. This book was just full of stories and half relatable macedotes about the Author’s life. And, I was unaware this book had religion baked in as she speaks about her beliefs as if we all can relate and adhere to them just the same.
