Status Anxiety

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Plt;IPgt;Status AnxietyPlt;/IPgt; has spent two and a half months in the Plt;IPgt;Sunday TimesPlt;/IPgt; top five bestseller list, selling over 50,000 copies.

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. Plt;BRPgt;Plt;BRPgt;For the first time, Alain de Botton gives a name to this 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.
