#3537: Why People Live Vicariously Through Celebrities

In this episode, I break down why so many people live through celebrities instead of living their own lives. People don’t follow famous people just because of talent, they follow them as proxies for the life they wish they had. When someone gives up on their own dreams, they attach themselves to someone who didn’t. That way they can feel the success without taking the risk. I explain how this happens and why it keeps people from becoming who they actually want to be.

Show Notes:
