This engaging episode of Maxim EQ dives deep into the adage “Comparison is the Theft of Joy” with guest Chris Hancock, an integrative therapist and former musician who blends psychology, spirituality, and lived experience. Together we discuss how our natural tendency to compare—especially in the age of social media—often leads to despair and disconnection. Yet, when approached consciously, comparison can be redirected toward empathy and self-understanding.
We explore how healing comes from identifying the “parts” of ourselves that seek validation, the dangers of unconscious comparison, and the liberating power of self-awareness. The conversation travels from social media and self-image to spiritual integration, parenting, and healing. Expect insights on mindfulness, the psychology of comparison, and what it means to choose love over competition in everyday life.
