Summary

Ever feel like you "need" that new gadget everyone seems to have? Do you find yourself endlessly scrolling through social media, bombarded by friends' perfect vacations and ideal lives? You might be experiencing mimetic desire, the powerful urge to want what others want. In this episode we unpack the psychology of mimetic desire, its impact on our choices, and most importantly, how to harness it for a more fulfilling life.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What mimetic desire is and why it exists
  • The upside and downside of mimetic desire in our lives
  • How social media and marketing exploit mimetic desire
  • Tips to identify and manage mimetic desire for a more fulfilling life
