The Leverage called Envy
Envy is a social norm.
If you are sincere to yourself, you would at one time or the other envied someone for their level of success.
In this book I attempt to unravel the science behind envy and how you can leverage on it and use it to your advantage.
First off, let me quickly state that it’s very normal to feel envy.
Most people would say that envy is an unfortunate downside of the human condition.
Yes, to be envious is to be human; it's just a part of who we are.
As most people’s thinking goes: Envy is bad!
(Some folks even told me this when I started talking about writing this book, smiles).
If we're envious beings, we should learn how to accept this fact, and use envy to our advantage. We shouldn't just categorize it as "bad" and try to ignore it, but rather, we should guard against its harmful effects and leverage its positive effects.
We can let envy be a motivator pushing you forward instead of it being a limitator holding us back.
Some years ago I had the opportunity to watch the Disney Pixar animated movie Inside Out and if there’s anything I learnt from watching that movie, it was this:
All our emotions are valuable to our well-being!
What is envy? Why do people envy one another? How can we turn the tide envy brings against us around for our good? How can you use envy to grow your business, career and life success; enriching and enhancing public & private perceptions about you?
I have tried to answer these questions in the pages of this book.
My advice?
Get your note pad and pen and let's dig in. Write out whatever jumps at you. Document your action points and use the knowledge you gleam to change your life!
