为什么值得读
- 揭露地位全凭成就评判的精英体制弊病
- 探讨社会将地位与金钱成功绑定的根源
- 文笔通俗流畅兼具心理学与哲学洞察
这是一本探讨一种近乎普遍存在却极少被公开提及的焦虑的书：关于他人对我们的看法；关于我们被判定为成功还是失败、赢家还是输家的焦虑。这是一本关于 status anxiety 的书。我们之所以在意自己的身份地位，原因很简单：因为大多数人往往会根据我们地位的高低来决定对我们的态度（新结识的朋友常问我们的第一个问题往往是“你是做什么工作的？”，这绝非巧合）。借助哲学家、艺术家和作家的洞察，本书剖析了 status anxiety 的根源（涵盖从……

……被认为是文学名著之一，但实在太长了，我真没法推荐。《销售加速公式》（The Sales Acceleration Formula）——马克·罗贝日著——向所有创业者推荐。《身份的焦虑》（Status Anxiety）——阿兰·德波顿著——一本相当不错的通俗心理学读物。《从0到1》（Zero to One）——彼得·蒂尔著——在我看来是本哲学书。《东京罪恶》（Tokyo Vice）——杰克·阿德尔斯坦著——带你一窥日本社会的阴暗面。《资本主义……
…Considered to be one of the masterpieces of literature, but it's so long that I can't really recommend it. "The Sales Acceleration Formula" - Mark Roberge - I'd recommend this to any entrepreneur. "Status Anxiety" - Alain de Botton - A pretty good pop scienc-y psychology book. "Zero to One" - Peter Thiel - A philosophy book imo. "Tokyo Vice" - Jake Adelstein - A look at the underbelly of Japanese society. "Capitalism…
@Matt，你可能会喜欢阿兰·德波顿的《身份的焦虑》。你归咎于创业公司的很多批评，其实同样可以抛给那个将社会地位与金钱和成功绑定在一起的整个体制。如果说创业公司更该挨骂……
@Matt, You might enjoy Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton. A lot of the criticisms you attribute to startups could just as well be directed toward the entire system that ties social status to money and success. If startups are more blameworthy…
罗伯特·皮尔西格的《禅与摩托车维修艺术》。最近，阿兰·德波顿的每一本书（《身份的焦虑》、《工作的迷思与痛苦》和《爱情笔记》）都包含着极有价值的人生一课。亚历山大·蒲柏的《批评论》（是首诗，不是书）是第一批让我有所领悟的诗作之一，而且……
Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, R Pirsig Recently each of Alain de Botton's books (Status Anxiety, Pleasures and Sorrows of Work and Essays on Love) had a valuable lesson to teach. Alexander Pope's 'Essay on Criticism' (poem, not a book) was one the first poems that I gleaned something from, and…
我认为我们大多数人都有很强的野心，极度渴望成功。阿兰·德波顿呈现了他对成功的独到见解。如果你喜欢这个观点，他的《身份的焦虑》一书在探讨这个话题上也写得极为出色。
I think most of us are quite ambitious and really want succes. Alain de Botton presents his view on succes. If you like it, his book Status Anxiety is also a great read on this very subject.
《身份的焦虑》——阿兰·德波顿。讲的是我们是如何步入一个精英优绩主义社会的，在这个社会里，你的地位取决于你的成就。这位当代哲学家/作家写的极其深刻又通俗好读的作品。
Status Anxiety - Alain de Botton It's about how we have come to live in a meritocracy, where your status depends on what you have achieved. Very insightful and readable work by the contemporary philosopher/writer.
如果你对这个主题感兴趣，我推荐阿兰·德波顿的《幸福的建筑》（The Architecture of Happiness）和《身份的焦虑》（尽管后者重点不在建筑上，但二者是相辅相成的）。这些书还被拍成了纪录片，在阿兰·德波顿的 YouTube 频道上就能看。
If you are interested in this subject, I would recommend 'The Architecture of Happiness' by Alain De Botton, and 'Status Anxiety' (even though the a later is not focused on architecture, it is complimentary). The books were also made into documentaries that are available on Alain De Bottom's YouTube channel.
