As Qiaochu_Yuan noted, it is easy to mistake more status anxiety verbalization for more status anxiety. As for the book Status Anxiety, it seems useful in that it discusses the status issues explicitly, but is sort of pop-psych in terms of offering untested solutions.
Are there either easy summaries of the book’s solutions, or would you mind mapping the difference between the video and the solutions proposed in the book?
