Whether we like it or not, we play status games, in an attempt to fit in AND stand out.
Seven Rules of The Status Game:
- Practice warmth, Sincerity, and Competence.
- Choose prestige over dominance
- Play a multitude of status games. But focus energy on games you consider important.
- Reduce your moral sphere. Worry about your own shit. Turn the gaze inwards.
- Have a trade-off mindset. Good or bad is bullshit. It’s all created.
- Be different. But don’t break the rules and be useful to the group.
- Never forget you are dreaming. The aim is to play not win.
