À propos de cet audio
‘Will Storr is one of our best journalists of ideas … The Status Game might be his best yet’ James Marriott, Books of the Year, The Times
What drives our political and moral beliefs? What makes us like some things and dislike others? What shapes how we behave, and misbehave, in groups? What makes you, you?
For centuries, philosophers and scholars have described human behaviour in terms of sex, power and money. In The Status Game, bestselling author Will Storr radically turns this thinking on its head by arguing that it is our irrepressible craving for status that ultimately defines who we are.
From the era of the hunter-gatherer to today, when we exist as workers in the globalised economy and citizens of online worlds, the need for status has always been wired into us. A wealth of research shows that how much of it we possess dramatically affects not only our happiness and wellbeing but also our physical health – and without sufficient status, we become more ill, and live shorter lives. It’s an unconscious obsession that drives the best and worst of us: our innovation, arts and civilisation as well as our murders, wars and genocides. But why is status such an all-consuming prize? What happens if it’s taken away from us? And how can our unquenchable thirst for it explain cults, moral panics, conspiracy theories, the rise of social media and the ‘culture wars’ of today?
On a breathtaking journey through time and culture, The Status Game offers a sweeping rethink of human psychology that will change how you see others – and how you see yourself.

How do master storytellers compel us? There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story, but few have used a scientific approach. In The Science of Storytelling, Will Storr applies dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to our myths and archetypes to show how we can tell better stories, revealing, among other things, how storytellers - and also our brains - create worlds by being attuned to moments of unexpected change.

After listening to "The Value of Others," you'll never look at relationships the same way again.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 2
Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from 37 cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior.

Ce que les critiques en disent
‘Will Storr is one of our best journalists of ideas … The Status Game might be his best yet’ James Marriott, Books of the Year, The Times
‘[The Status Game] challenged the way I think about the role of status in my own life and in some ways it made me feel less terrible about some of my unhealthy fixations. If you find yourself needlessly worried about status, it might do the same for you … I can’t stop thinking about it’ Sean Illing, Vox
‘Eloquent, entertaining’ New Statesman
‘Moving … Scholarly … Storr showcases a rare skill – the ability to use technical academic scholarship in solving a real-world problem’ Helen Dale, CapX
‘I haven’t finished reading The Status Game because I’ve only read it once. There's so much in this dazzling book I will be revisiting over and over again’
Daniel Finkelstein, author of Everything in Moderation
‘The Status Game could not be more timely and provides a missing piece for understanding where we are, and how to get out of this mess … I can’t recommend it highly enough’
Greg Lukianoff, co-author with Jonathan Haidt of The Coddling of the American Mind
‘Thought provoking and enlightening – you’ll be discussing The Status Game everywhere you go’ Sara Pascoe
‘Bursting with insights into the hierarchy-crazed hellscape of a world shaped by social media, this book confirms Will Storr’s own status as a master storyteller’
Helen Lewis, author of Difficult Women
‘A radical new theory of human nature … It should – quite appropriately – establish Will Storr as the finest science writer being published today’
David Robson, author of The Intelligence Trap

A paradigm shifting account of the human condition
I cannot recommend this book more highly to anyone who satisfies the following criteria:
1. You are a human being
2. You interact with other human beings

Possibly the most important book of the century.
I haven't been this moved by a book in a long time, and I read and listen to a lot. I'd say next to Steven Pinkers The Blank Slate this is an absolute must read.
Not only is the subject, premise and examples used incredible well articulated, selected and enticing but it's written in a captivating way.
I did not want to stop.
The end? isn't a boring oh well these are the problems but I don't know how to fix them. Instead, the author does the difficult task of actually outlining plausible solutions.
it's sobering, real and balanced... and quite possibly the future of our species depends on the amount of people you can get to read it 😁

No Such Thing As Vaccine Injury?
Unfortunately the author decided to heavily insert bias opinion into this book, causing me to now question the research backing up his status game hypothesis.
Claiming that all vaccines are safe and don’t cause side effects is simply untrue. Claiming that anyone who questions the safety of vaccines is in a cult is one sided and irresponsible.
The author was unable to separate his Neo-Liberal support for big pharma and simply write this book from a neutral standpoint. It’s unfortunate he couldn’t control his virtue signalling, especially since mentioning the whole vaccine debate was not necessary to the hypothesis.

I'm posting this review to sound smart
Striving to be good at [insert activity] is ultimately selfish because it'll raise your social status. This may be 'technically' correct, but it's an incredibly reductive and nihilistic epistemological framework to apply to human activity.
It's not all bad, but when it's bad, it's really bad.
The author reduces nearly every human action to a selfish act in a status game. This has the effect of equivocating donating to charity to selling your daughter into sexual slavery because both are acts conducted to pursue status within their respective 'games.' I wouldn't say the author attempts to justify this, but in an effort to maintain some distance from moral relativism, the author makes no effort to compare status games. Everyone is just selfish regardless of the outcome.
It might be true in some thought experiments in an anthropological context, but give me a break. It's the reductionist thinking that edgelords and first-year philosophy students use.
