About this listen
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.

One of the few elite narrators in my opinion
Content of the book is already acclaimed, but narration is so good that it becomes IRRESISTIBLE to leave it unfinished once started.

Highly Recommended
This book touches on so many topics we need to be more aware about. I absolutely loved it and would recommend a listen to everyone who is aware about the negative effect technology has on us.

It doesn't stick to its real objective
It wants to talk about everything but don't stand good in anyone except Video Games, No discussion of Screen addiction, some clips are just introduced like the Netflix part & nothing else. Plz Go for other better books on this topic dealing in a better way 🕉️🙏🆎
