So you can’t focus on yourself, and you can’t compare yourself with other people. What are you supposed to be thinking about then? Well, I didn’t say you can’t think about other people. It’s just not helpful to focus on them in relation to yourself, to compare or compete. However, if you separate yourself out of the exercise entirely and look properly outwards at others, that is the road to happiness, my friend.

Also it's slightly clumsy English: usually you separate yourself from (sth/s.o.), not out of (it/them).
