Anyone who’s ever lost sleep over an unreturned phone call or the neighbor’s Lexus had better read Alain de Botton’s irresistibly clear-headed new book, immediately. For in its pages, a master explicator of our civilization and its discontents turns his attention to the insatiable quest for status, a quest that has less to do with material comfort than with love. To demonstrate his thesis, de Botton ranges through Western history and thought from St. Augustine to Andrew Carnegie and Machiavelli to Anthony Robbins.
Whether it’s assessing the class-consciousness of Christianity or the convulsions of consumer capitalism, dueling or home-furnishing, Status Anxiety is infallibly entertaining. And when it examines the virtues of informed misanthropy, art appreciation, or walking a lobster on a leash, it is not only wise but helpful.

评分一直喜歡他的書。
评分人天生不瞭解自己,所以需要彆人的評價來判斷自己;“人人平等”是産生身份焦慮的根源之一
评分兩三百年的消費主義資本主義曆史,把status變成重要的事,這種不穩定的東西,讓人焦慮。怎麼形成這個狀態說得好清楚。但真的能用政治,藝術等方法來解決嗎?
