Status: Why We Unite, Compete, and Destroy Each Other
14.99 €
Prestigious education. Expensive cars and watches. Sports trophies. International scientific awards. Office on the 50th floor. A position as a moral luminary. What do these things have in common? They all symbolize status, and without it we cannot imagine our existence. More than that, without understanding its nature, we cannot understand life itself. "Status" is the most ambitious book by Will Storr, a British writer and journalist, author of the bestselling "Selfie," revealing how the pursuit of success has shaped humanity. Drawing on the achievements of neuroscientists, anthropologists, and psychologists, the author shows exactly what we inherited from our primate ancestors, how modern society has become a battleground for status, and what it takes to succeed in the game of life. From the rituals of Micronesian tribes to the psychology of serial killers, from the typical mistakes of corporate executives to the culture of abolition, Storr finds the signs of status games, brilliantly analyzes them, and explains why real victories in this game should benefit everyone.
