A Thought-Provoking Audio Book

In the opening pages of this book, I learned that some of the inventors of new technology do not allow their children to use this technology because of the addictive nature of it. For example, Steve Jobs children did not have an iPad even though their father created it. Jobs was aware and concerned about the addictive nature of the iPhone and iPad for his children. IRRESISTIBLE is an interesting audio book. I heard it cover to cover.

Alter is originally from South Africa then Australia and he reads his audio book. His accent was interesting and engaging in the book. The research and storytelling in this book was well-done. While much has been told about the addictive nature of substance abuse like alcohol or drugs, it was enlightening to hear the behavior addictive nature of a key device we use every day like a smart phone. Alter includes strategies for behavior adjustment and insights in this book. It holds your attention throughout with practical information. I recommend IRRESISTIBLE.
