Mary Pritchard interviewed about the emotional impact of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’

Mary Pritchard, a professor of psychological science, recently was a featured guest on a podcast exploring the financial and emotional downsides of trying to keep up with the polished lives of others in our social circle. Prichard has extensively written about the emotional impact of individuals comparing their wealth or success to others.

Pritchard also was interviewed about stress eating by a reporter for Thrive Global. A blog post based on that conversation can be found here:  https://thriveglobal.com/stories/how-to-stop-stress-eating-emotional-anxiety-tips-work/
