Part three: Is Envy Stealing Your Happiness?
Do you feel dissatisfied when you compare your life to other people’s lives? Instagram feeds are famously full of the shiny, happy pictures of other people’s perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect life... and not to mention their perfectly executed yoga poses in exotic locations.
