We've all been there - panicking about our unglamour low paid job, non-existent bank balance, limited friendship circle and unfulfilled ambition.
Alain de Botton, best selling writer and presenter of Philosophy: A Guide to Happiness asks - with lucidity and charm - where worries about our status come from and what, if anything, we can do to surmount them.

With the help of philosophers, artists and writers, he examines the origins of status anxiety before revealing ingenious ways in which people have learnt to overcome their worries in their search for happiness. We learn about sandal-less philosophers and topless bohemians, about the benefits of putting skulls on our sideboards and looking ruins.
