The Comparison Trap explores the way we live in the shadows of other's successes

Helen Roberts helps you live free from being defined by others

Described as 'a thief of joy', comparison holds us back from real life. Helen Roberts explores all the faces comparison takes in modern life, and how to overcome it.

Too often, women hold each other back, bad mouthing and making unflattering comparisons. Social media give extra opportunities for negative comment.

Are we trapped in our own battles, or entertained by the wars of other women, to the detriment of our own freedom and well-being? What would happen, asks Helen Roberts, if women ceased to compete and compare? What if we settled our conflicts and resolved instead to champion one another? To celebrate each other's victories?

Helen explores the complexities of female relationships in workplaces, families and friendship circles, using contemporary, historical, personal and biblical examples. She investigates Scripture to see how, through the work of the Holy Spirit, we can cease the all-too-frequent "she wars". She helps us recognise our own destructive tendencies and establish healthy habits which will enable women and their relationships to thrive. This will help us live more confidently as the daughters the Father intends us to be, free from envy or comparison.

    Getting one of these for all the women in my life! Even with the best intentions I can definitely find myself comparing everything from looks to life goals, unknowingly holding myself back and missing out on the incredible opportunity to champion the women around me. With friendliness and honesty Helen Roberts walks you through a new way to not only be more comfortable in your skin but also love your girlfriends and family members in a way that frees them to do the same. If you want to grow out of expectations and 'good enough,' or want to know how to cheer on other women instead of feeling stuck in competition with them- read this book! Seriously, you won't regret it!
