Status Anxiety
Autor Alain de Bottonen Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 31 aug 2012
From one of our greatest voices in modern philosophy, author ofThe Course of Love, The Consolations of Philosophy, Religion for AtheistsandThe School of Life-Alain de Botton sets out to understand our universal fear of failure - and how we might change it
'De Botton's gift is to prompt us to think about how we live and how we might change things'The Times
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.
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.
'He analyses modern society with great charm, learning and humour. His remedies come as a welcome relief when most books offering solutions to the stresses of life recommend the lotus position'Daily Mail

Measured, amused, compassionate . . . de Botton is a surefooted discoverer of the pungent but less well-known quote
A purveyor of serious but playful manuals for living
Turned me into a fan, for its range, insight, wit and sheer usefulness
