When you meet someone for the first time, consciously and unconsciously, you’re assessing their status based on their job, education, where they live, the clothes they wear, the car they drive, and their cultural background. And you know what? They’re doing the exact same thing to you. But how healthy is status classification? Why does it matter so much to us? Whether we want to admit it or not, we have a deep desire to prove ourselves and feel important. And what’s scary is that we place much of our self-worth on these status signals. In this conversation, we explore the challenges with wrapping status into our identities, and how minimalism can play a role in shifting the perspective of identity and value.
