About this listen
An upbeat, inspirational guide to finding happiness in an often toxic social media world, from best-selling author Melissa Ambrosini.
Comparisonitis / com·par·isoni·tis/ (noun)
The compulsion to compare one's accomplishments to another's to determine relative importance.
Multiple best-selling author Melissa Ambrosini (Mastering Your Mean Girl, Open Wide, PurposeFULL) and host of the number one podcast The Melissa Ambrosini Show puts the condition of Comparisonitis under the microscope, unpacking the symptoms, and offering practical tips you can start using immediately to break the cycle of comparison, free up mental bandwidth, and live life on your own terms.
When you cure Comparisonitis, you will:
- Be free to live your life for you (no one else)
- Feel peace from within
- Experience genuine happiness
- Truly appreciate your body and life
- Free up SO much mental bandwidth for things you LOVE
- Quit beating yourself up
- Have more energy to go after the things that truly matter to you
- Experience a radical shift towards authenticity
- Be a better friend, partner, parent, family member, colleague, human
- Free yourself from expectations
- Unleash the courage to go after your dreams
- Unstifle your creativity
- Feel more liberated than you've ever felt in your life
- And much more....
It creeps up on you without warning-perhaps while chatting with a friend, scrolling through social media, or even just while walking down the street.
All it takes is the hint of someone doing or having something you perceive as 'better' than you, and it hits. A feeling takes over-intense, blinding, gutting. Your brain starts spinning with toxic thoughts about yourself (or others), and you're left feeling ashamed, guilty, and even worthless.
It's called comparisonitis. And if you've suffered from it, you're NOT alone.
Comparisonitis is a contagious, socially transmitted condition that occurs when you compare yourself to others so frequently and fiercely that you're left paralyzed, with your confidence in tatters and your self-worth plummeting. It may sound trivial, but this affliction can have serious adverse effects on our mental health, leading to depression, anxiety, overthinking, and regret. To make matters worse, our comparison culture is only expanding. Thanks to social media, we have more opportunities to compare ourselves than ever before, and even kids are falling into the trap.
Described as a 'self-help guru' by Elle magazine, Melissa has experienced the effects of comparisonitis first hand, having worked extensively in industries like acting, modeling and dancing where comparison culture is not only rampant but openly encouraged. Melissa knows all too well how comparisonitis is infecting our minds and hurting our hearts, and in this book, she'll help you heal from this disease, liberate your headspace, and raise your self-worth so radically that you'll never let comparison rob you of your joy and happiness again.

This book will have a positive impact on your life
This is a book I will revisit regularly. There are so many aspects of it that are helping me to frame the way I think about things in a much healthier way for self-esteem. It shines an important light on how negatively social media can impact us, if we’re not aware of how it is designed. It’s nice to listen to the book with honest recounts told directly from the author - we’re all human and can relate!

A book I was DUE to listen to!
I lived in comparisonitis for years without knowing! I found Melissas book easy to follow, and to implement.
My fav chapter is when Melissa explains about zooming out from a picture perfect photo we see posted, I remember this during my daily scroll. This book has changed my life in more ways than one, it won’t be the last time I read it that’s for sure!

READ IT NOWWW!!!
This book needs to be a requirement in life!
I am a major offender of comparison, with everyone on social media - seeing people get engaged, having babies and travelling the world while I’m still waiting after 5years with my partner, no babies and still studying with no time for holidays but this book has changed my view on all of this!
I have learnt ways to be happy for those people and to just be happy with the journey I am building for me and my boyfriend. I still have a long way to go but this book has taught be techniques to be happy in my own journey of life.
I recommend 10000% you won’t regret it!!

love love this book.
I really enjoyed listening to this book it usually takes me days sometimes months to finish a book but with Melissia's engaging words & encouraging voice. I managed to break the record & finish listening to the entire book which is 7 hours in one and a half day.🥰 That's how much I got hooked into listening to this great book & now i am thinking purchasing a paper copy as well. Thank you Melissia for this great work can't thank you enough.🌹

Exceeded my expectations !!
Melissa is a shining guiding light in this lifetime. I have read all 3 previously published books which left me empowered and inspired to live my dream life and take responsibility. Comparisonitis has blown me away and has levelled me up even more. It’s so relevant and needs to be in everyone’s bookshelf. Highly recommend
