Status, in Alison Wood Brooks's definition, is not class or pedigree — it's "liking and respect in the eyes of others," and it's topic-dependent and conversation-specific. The same person can be high-status in one room and low-status in the next, and status can be earned in real time through good Follow-up Questions, well-placed Levity, and visible Active Listening. This reframing is liberating because it means status isn't fixed; it's produced.
