Status Anxiety
Alain de Botton

Status Anxiety
Alain de Botton
Do you worry about how well you’re doing? Are you envious of your friends' success? Are you suffering from status anxiety?
We all worry about what others think of us. We all long to succeed and fear failure. We all suffer ? to a greater or lesser degree, usually privately and with embarrassment ? from status anxiety.
For the first time, Alain de Botton gives a name to his universal condition and sets out to investigate both its origins and possible solutions. He looks at history, philosophy, economics, art and politics ? and reveals the many ingenious ways that great minds have overcome their worries. The result is a book that is not only entertaining and thought-provoking ? but genuinely wise and helpful as well.
