Inspired, not competing

Envy is data. Turn it into study.

PWe reviewed the research on it.Taste, influence and feedback

How to use it

When someone's work stings, turn envy into study: name what's excellent in it, copy the structure privately, make your version. Envy turned into inspiration when people believed they could learn the thing.

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
