Özet

How many times have you checked your phone today? Why are messaging apps, email and social media so hard to resist? How come we always end up watching another episode?

In recent years, media and technology have perfected the lucrative art of gaining and holding our attention. This extraordinary feat has changed the behaviour of billions of people, and especially the young: by current medical standards, we are experiencing an unprecedented global pandemic of addiction. But what exactly is an addiction? And what, if anything, might we do about it?

From cliff-hangers to earworms, from religion to pornography, and from the awesome allure of the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood app to the unexpected benefits of the 'butt-brush effect', Irresistible blends fascinating stories with ingenious science to explain how and why we all got hooked. Revealing the surprising causes and sometimes bizarre nature of addiction, this book will equip you with the tools and understanding you need to navigate our irresistible new world.

I would highly recommend this audio book. I enjoyed Alter’s delivery and investment into his work. It is a strong mix of research, real world examples and personal accounts. I was struck by Alter’s disclosure of his own tendencies to become addicted to tech.

As well as providing a commentary on how addiction is built into social media and gaming, and the social implications of that, he provides a solid introduction to behavioural addiction in general - both its mechanisms and also how the understanding of it evolved over time.

Great listen and really rings true in places. Very insightful and terrifying in places when you spot your own behaviour.
