What Could Be Possible if the Successful Americans Choose Connection Over Comparison?
Abstract
Too often the successful people in America are caught in a never-ending rat race where no matter how much they acquire, they are no happier. We can shift them, and consequentially a large segment of the population, if they realize they can be happier if they start to connect to humanity rather than making comparisons to others. Through self-compassion and loving kindness meditation humanity will start to connect rather than compare as is the current case through our damaged lens of self- esteem. By taking a unique approach to transforming our society by addressing the needs of the successful rather than the unsuccessful, we can impact larger numbers more quickly.
