Healing Book
I would like to read a book similar to "The Anxious Man". In the bombardment of fragmented information, calm down and read. Harvest emotions and thoughts, gentleness and rationality, no longer worry about trivial matters, and heal the soul.

"Status Anxiety" is a book by French philosopher Alain de Botton. Published in 2004, this book is one of the author's masterpieces. In this book, the author explores people's anxiety about identity and status in modern society, and tries to analyze the roots of these anxieties and how to deal with them. He believes that status anxiety is a common and profound problem in contemporary society, which is caused to some extent by the growing competition and uncertainty in society. Colleagues, this book also provides an in-depth analysis of common problems in modern society and provides people with practical advice on maintaining personal identity and self-esteem in this era.
A spiritual read well worth reading. This book is a life philosophy book that can help readers get rid of identity anxiety, integrate inner conflicts, complete cognition, and improve themselves. The whole book has a rigorous structure and logical coherence between contexts. The examples involved in the book are close to life and are also typical. The author provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of knowledge points, introduces many complex concepts to readers in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and hits the nail on the head during the narration. The methods in the book are also practical, helping readers to untie their knots and understand life.
Why do we crave approval from others? What makes us become "snobbish" and why are our desires for money and fashion never enough? How on earth can we overcome this identity anxiety? This book is not an "advanced" work filled with academic language. It uses popular and interesting language to explain the past and present life of "identity" for modern people, and why we are anxious about "identity". The word "status" in this book refers more to a kind of social status, a kind of fame and fortune that contemporary people pursue.
The first part talks about the source, and the second part talks about how to do it and the efforts of others in the era. It's very detailed and easy to read, so it's not difficult to read. We cannot get rid of anxiety, but we can alleviate it, which is a symbol of our existence in this era.
Everyone has an identity in this world. Identity is a person's position and role in society, which involves many aspects such as an individual's gender, age, cultural background, occupation, social status, etc. The construction of identity has an important impact on an individual's self-perception and social interactions. However, identity anxiety may occur when individuals face identity uncertainty, conflicts with social expectations, or social changes. By reading this book, we can better understand the process of identity formation and development, and how to deal with the challenges brought about by identity anxiety.
People are diverse and different, and everyone has different personalities and strengths. If the same set of standards is used to measure people's value, some people will reach the top like a fish in water, while some people will fall to the bottom if they don't fit in. Today's society is filled with the concept of material supremacy, and the public is accustomed to evaluating a person's value and identity by the amount of money he or she has. However, money is only one of many standards. As long as a person can support himself, there is no need to feel ashamed because he does not have more money. Everyone has their own meaning of existence. We should look for those things that are truly important and create more possibilities for life, rather than living according to other people's standards.

This book explains the concept of identity from oneself to society. It designs psychology, history, literature, economics and other related knowledge so that we can have a deeper understanding of the nature of identity and return to our own anxiety about identity.
In this impetuous society, don't be trapped by the secular world. No one can define your success except yourself.

Very good book
I always feel it's a bit superficial, but it's still an interesting read.
