10. Comparison
Search Scale: 0/10
Solution: Stop comparing.
Though this one’s low on the scale and therefore not talked about much (at least in the articles on Google), we all know it’s a problem. Americans are constantly comparing themselves to others, which leads to many of the other issues discussed in this article. They want to be skinnier, richer, smarter and prettier. This may be why we are neither the skinniest, richest, smartest or prettiest country in the world (though the latter may be debatable).
