I'm Addicted to Comparing Myself with Others

Chandika from Oregon says, "I'm addicted to comparing myself to other people. I can’t stop myself." Byron Katie helps her use her sister as an example. "'You're comparing yourself to your sister'—is it true? Is that really you and your sister that you're seeing, or is it images in your head? You're comparing nothing with nothing—just images of the two of you. Any time you think you're comparing yourself with anyone else, just ask yourself 'Is it true?'" "Just notice what happens when you think you're comparing," Katie says. "It's all about noticing. When we're just noticing, the mind is not at war with itself." © 2016 Byron Katie International, Inc.

Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves—radically shift and their lives are changed forever. Based on Byron Katie's direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen, paper, and an open mind. Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and deal with it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.
