The Invisible Game That Rules Your Life
Why would a man who finally won his freedom after thirty years in prison refuse to leave? Ben Gunn murdered an 11-year-old boy at age 14 and spent decades behind bars. Yet when offered release, he resisted. Inside those walls, he'd transformed himself into a jailhouse lawyer, helping fellow prisoners fight the system. He'd gone from nobody to somebody-a medium fish in a small pond with real influence. Only after launching a successful blog that attracted 20,000 readers and earned an Orwell Prize nomination did he finally accept freedom at age 47. Once outside, Ben collapsed psychologically. "I knew who I was in prison," he explained. "Now I'm completely lost." His story reveals something profound about human nature: we're all playing a game we rarely acknowledge, yet it shapes every decision we make. Understanding this game-the status game-might be the most important insight you'll ever gain about why people behave the way they do.
