#2175 Irresistible by Adam Alter

Your attention is being hijacked. Take it back.

Today’s book: Irresistible by Adam Alter—a powerful look at how technology is designed to addict us—and how we can reclaim our time, focus, and freedom.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Addiction isn’t just about substances. Behaviors—like scrolling, gaming, or binge-watching—can hijack your brain the same way.
  • Tech is engineered to be addictive. Variable rewards, social validation, and endless feeds keep you hooked.
  • You’re not weak—you’re being manipulated. Awareness is the first step to taking back control.
  • Set hard boundaries. Create screen-free zones and times. Use tools that limit use instead of encouraging it.
  • Reclaim analog joy. Replace screen time with movement, real connection, and deep work that fuels you.

Your attention is your life. What’s one way you’ll protect it today?
