Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked by Adam Alter

3.0

---

Why can’t we put our phones down? Adam Alter explains it brilliantly, unpacking the addictive designs behind our favorite apps and gadgets. The book starts strong, blending science and storytelling, but loses momentum with repetitive ideas and few actionable takeaways.

A sharp look at tech addiction, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing.

Rating: 3/5 – Engaging but not essential.
