Super Stimulated
Why can't we resist doom scrolling on our phones? Why do we struggle to avoid sugary snacks? Why do we let Netflix play yet another episode? We feel powerless to resist the pull of these addictive behaviours, despite knowing they're not good for us. But this lack of control isn't because we are weak - it's because of superstimuli. Superstimuli: behaviours, objects and social cues that are exaggerated versions of things we have evolved to want and need. This hard-wired evolutionary response is why we lust after airbrushed people online who outshine any real sex partner, binge on unnatural ultra processed food and dive deeper and deeper into the unreality of social media. In Super Stimulated, international bestselling author and scientist Nicklas Brendborg shows how our biological response to these superstimuli is being manipulated by powerful companies in ways that damage our health and ultimately shorten our lifespans. With startling statistics and fascinating examples from the animal world, he unveils how we can resist this hijacking of our natural instincts, recognise superstimulus traps, and take control of our bad habits to live longer, healthier lives.

This accessible book provides insight into recent exponential advances in artificial intelligence, tissue regeneration, stem cell treatment, organ printing, cryopreservation, and genetic therapies that, for the first time in human history, offer a reali...

Magazin Buchkultur 205
Nicht nur geografisch, sondern auch sprachlich und kulturell zeichnet sich Elisa Shua Dusapin durch Grenzerfahrungen aus: In ihrem zweiten Roman auf Deutsch »Die Pachinko-Kugeln« beobachtet sie mit präzisem Blick für zwischenmenschliche Signale eine Französin, die sich in Japan auf Besuch bei den Großeltern – die aus Korea dorthin migriert sind – nur bedingt willkommen fühlt; Mohamed Mbougar Sarr überzeugt mit einem lyrischen und komplex aufgebauten Page-Turner, der trotz aller Kritik am Literaturbetrieb eine wunderschöne Ode an die Literatur darstellt; und Elfriede Jelinek legt mit »Angabe der Person« einen knapp 200-seitigen Furor vor – eine Abrechnung mit der Gesellschaft...
