The book is informed by social science and philosophy research, as well as her personal and professional experiences.Similar target: “You remind yourself: ‘Hey, the reason why I’m feeling this envy is because what I want is within my reach,’” she says.Intangible desire, as mentioned aboveRelevant comparison: Identify which specific domain – something you care about or already participate in – is relevant to your desiresNegative emotion: How long does it last?
