The Status Game: On Human Life and How to Play It door Will Storr

Extremely insightful and a fun, compelling read. Lots to think about.

The Science of Storytelling door Will Storr

Wary of the author’s early repeated trope of “reality is an illusion generated by each individual brain as a collective hallucination” but there’s enough good info & ideas herein that I’m glad I didn’t give up earlier.

Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It's… door Will Storr

“Less self-esteem, please. More self-discipline.” P 166. A re-hash and update of Century of the Self. Somewhat needlessly windy, but interesting analysis of the harm of the self-esteem movement, individual hero myth, and neurotic need for perfectionism.

Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It's… door Will Storr

started out OK, then I got tired of the detailed anecdotes and it was pretty disturbing too.
gave up on it around page 170
