This podcast is the narrated version of my article The Dark Side of Your Emotional Needs – Status.
Wanting to be recognized can easily morph from a need to a demanding, all-consuming greed. So why is the drive for status so strong?
In this episode I talk about:
- The universal need for recognition and control
- Where the drive for status can lead
- “I don’t know who I’m supposed to be!”
- The potential effects of a dramatic increase in status
- Lessons from the Stanford Prison Experiment
- The status of victimhood
- Why notoriety is a form of high status
- What happens when status becomes more important than substance
- Why tyrannies don’t like humour.
