• Envy is rooted in evolutionary psychology as an aid to our survival • , but modern life amplifies and distorts it into an overwhelming compulsion that can hurt more than help.
• When envy crops up in our lives, it often contains two different desires within it: a desire for the thing we wish we had, and a desire to "beat" the person who has it. •
• Envy could be about wanting something we don’t have, or it could be about being someone we wish we were • — or maybe it’s both, and wanting the thing is really just a clever way of trying to become the person who has it.
