It wasn't about vanity or showing off. After interviewing over 200 people for various articles, from startup founders to burned-out middle managers, I began to see a pattern. The iron-wielders weren't trying to impress anyone. They were operating from a completely different mindset-one that psychology suggests is becoming endangered in our instant-everything world.
