The idea of status — how we see ourselves and how others see us — has always shaped human behaviour, from the playground to the boardroom. But in today’s hyperconnected world, where likes, followers, and digital validation reign supreme, status feels more complex and more powerful than ever. Author and journalist Will Storr delves deep into this very phenomenon in his thought-provoking book, The Status Game: On Human Life and How to Play It. Drawing on psychology, anthropology, and storytelling, Storr explores how the pursuit of status drives everything from our daily choices to the rise and fall of societies. It’s a compelling read that asks uncomfortable questions: Are we really in control of our ambitions, or are we all just playing the same invisible game?
