Product DescriptionThis is a book about an almost universal anxiety that rarely gets mentioned directly: an anxiety about what others think of us, about whether were judged a success or a failure, a winner or a loser. This is a book about status anxiety. Alain de Botton, bestselling author of The Consolations of Philosophy, askswith lucidity and charmwhere our worries about status come from and what, if anything, we can do to surmount them. With the help of philosophers, artists and writers, he examines the origins of status anxiety before revealing ingenious ways in which people have been able to overcome their worries in the search for happiness. We learn about sandalless philosophers and topless bohemians, about the benefits of putting skulls on our sideboards, and about looking at ancient ruins. The result is a book that isnt just highly entertaining and thoughtprovoking, but that is genuinely wise and helpful, too.Review"A smart and amusing inquiry.... Thick with social history and as funny as [it is] acute." The Boston Globe"A typically de Bottonesque romp....Full of great...literary and philosophical references."
