This episode explores titles and the weight we put on them, either professionally or personally. This leads directly into the Social Comparison Theory, which was discovered in 1954 by psychologist Leon Festinger. Can you imagine what he would be thinking with all of the comparing via social media now?! Ginny talks about upward & downward comparison and the benefits & dangers of comparing. And of course, there's a reference on comparing as it relates to narcissism. Theodore Roosevelt called comparison "the thief of joy." Do you find meaning in your title(s)? Is your joy being stolen from comparison? There are some helpful reminders in this episode to keep us on track with what really matters.
