Key idea: The easiest way to make ourselves unhappy is to compare ourselves with other people. Therefore, to increase happiness, we have to stop this.
Easier said than done, given how social media encourages us to show our “best sides” and the “highlight reel” of our lives.
I reality, many times we’re just trying to impress people we don’t even like. And we can’t help but be envious of those around us who seem happy and successful.

Thoughts? How do you define love? Agree or disagree?
