Comparison the Joy Killer And Why It's Worse With a Phone

Why does comparing yourself to others feel worse now than it used to? Comparison itself is ancient, humans have always measured themselves against their neighbors, but the constant scroll of curated, filtered content has turned an old habit into something much harder to escape. We look at Michel de Montaigne, a philosopher who tried to measure his life only against his own experience, and ask what he would make of a phone. If your Tuesday keeps losing to someone else's edited version of a life, this one's for you.

Enjoy,
