Manage episode 226063324 series 1538926
HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF THE GOODNESS…
“Comparison and competition are inherently flawed because they’re based on our internal representation of another. They’re not based on any empirical truth.” - Jenna
“That’s why statistics are so effing seductive. Any way that we can quantify ourselves and compare ourselves, we take as objective reality. We take that as a quantifiable metric of our worth that we can compare with one another.” - Jenna
“The empowering, useful, helpful version of comparison is inspiration.” - Jenna
“Imagine what would be possible if we started to believe that the world is an inherently cooperative place.” - Jenna
