Summary:
Across the world, from Papua New Guinea to Tokyo to Manhattan, humans compete for status. Through its games of dominance, virtue and success, status is an obsession that has driven the best and worst of us: the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution as well as spree killers and tyrants at the gates of Europe. But what makes status an all-consuming prize? And how can we wield our desire for it to improve our relationships, win social media battles and be the best in the workplace?
