Alain de Botton was born in 1969. He is the author of Essays in Love (1993), The Romantic Movement (1994), Kiss and Tell (1995), How Proust Can Change Your Life (1997), The Consolations of Philosophy (2000), The Art of Travel (2002) and Status Anxiety (2004).
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 embarassment --- from status anxiety.
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.

评分有句话是叫“物质精神,两手抓,两手都要硬”,很喜欢这位矮小睿智的家乡人,我们渴求温饱,安全,尊重,爱与自我实现,从物质到精神,一直是外界在支撑着我们这一颗颗脆弱的心,否则,我们便如那无柱可攀的缭藤,坠入泥土,很快腐烂生臭。我如果爱你,那么也许是因为你给我提...
