Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton examines our obsession with social status and how it shapes happiness and self-worth. De Botton shows that the desire for recognition is often stronger than the need for material comfort and explores it through history, philosophy, and modern society.
Witty, insightful, and practical, the book helps readers understand the roots of their anxieties about status and offers ways to find contentment beyond comparison with others.
