This measuring stick society is the root in my opinion, we're constantly compared in ways that undermine our self worth.
On the topic, I recommend two books by Todd Rose: The End of Average & Dark Horse.
Very valuable different paradigm, as a way of chartering your path, and also to help free up a way of looking at yourself and others as individuals.
From the cradle to the grave, you are measured against the ever-present yardstick of the average, judged according to how closely you approximate it or how far you are able to exceed it.
If no one would ever know, what would you do anyways?
