KEYPOINTS
- 01
Will Storr: more successful/higher status → better outcomes including living longer (with caveats); don’t raise kids to believe they’ll be Beyoncé—chances they can’t; 99% self-help ignores genes; status pursuit ancient & still true; two smokers—higher-status less smoking disease; uncomfortable truths.
