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.

The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the "best-kept secret" in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs, and fungi passed from one generation to the next? The Immortality Key is a groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.

Alexandra had high hopes: the arse of an athlete, the waist of a supermodel, the speed of a gazelle. Defeated by gyms and bored of yoga, she decided to run. Her first attempt did not end well. Six years later, she has run five marathons in two continents. But, as her dad says, you run with your head as much as with your legs.

In this timely and enlightening audiobook, Cal Newport introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can have fun with friends and family and eat out at restaurants without the obsessive urge to document the experience...Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement and makes a case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world.

Publisher's Summary
An illuminating look at the way the thoughts we have and the decisions we make are influenced by forces that aren't always in our control
Why are people named Kim, Kelly, and Ken more likely to donate to Hurricane Katrina victims than to Hurricane Rita victims? Are you really more likely to solve puzzles if you watch a light bulb illuminate? How did installing blue lights along a Japanese railway line halt rising crime and suicide rates? Can decorating your walls with the right artwork make you more honest? The human brain is fantastically complex, having engineered space travel and liberated nuclear energy, so it's no wonder that we resist the idea that we're deeply influenced by our surroundings. As profound as they are, these effects are almost impossible to detect both as they're occurring and in hindsight. Drunk Tank Pink is the first detailed exploration of how our environment shapes what we think, how we feel, and the ways we behave.
The world is populated with words and images that prompt unexpected, unconscious decisions. We are so deeply attracted to our own initials that we give more willingly to the victims of hurricanes that match our initials: Kims and Kens donate more generously to Hurricane Katrina victims, whereas Rons and Rachels give more openly to Hurricane Rita victims. Meanwhile, an illuminated light bulb inspires creative thinking because it symbolizes insight.
Social interactions have similar effects, as professional cyclists pedal faster when people are watching. Teachers who took tea from the break room at Newcastle University contributed 300 percent more to a cash box when a picture of two eyes hung on the wall. We're evolutionarily sensitive to human surveillance, so we behave more virtuously even if we're only watched by a photograph. The physical environment, from locations to colors, also guides our hand in unseen ways. Dimly lit interiors metaphorically imply no one's watching and encourage dishonesty and theft, while blue lights discourage violent activity because they're associated with the police. Olympic taekwondo and judo athletes are more likely to win when they wear red rather than blue, because red makes them behave aggressively and referees see them as more dominant. Drunk Tank Pink is full of revelatory facts, riveting anecdotes, and cutting-edge experiments that collectively explain how the most unexpected factors lead us to think, feel, and behave the way we do.

Pop psychology, don't be ensnared!
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If you want short, titbits of research strung together without a thread this is your thing. I expected something more impressive, deeper and guiding of future behaviour
What do you think your next listen will be?
I have already purchased and downloaded Brene Brown and will then move onto Quiet
What three words best describe Tristan Morris’s performance?
Average, adequate and simple
What character would you cut from Drunk Tank Pink?
Not a character to cut, more a thread to be added

Fascinating!
Any additional comments?
The subject of this book is one that I myself (!) have considered writing a book on. I'm glad I didn't even try - this is great, and fascinating. And the red thread is easily discernible through all the otherwise quite unrelated phenomena.
There's lots to be learned about oneself, others and the world, from this book.

Science?
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A barrage of very brief summaries of "studies" that supposedly "prove" what the author is saying; or that take great liberties in drawing sweeping conclusions based on simplistic research. Basically, all sorts of things may influence our thoughts, opinions, or behavior. For example: showing images test subjects brief images of their country's flag, so quickly that they don't even know they're seeing it, and then saying that influenced how they vote?? Ah, don't you think the country's flag is a very commonly encountered visual element during a national election? This and whole deluge of other study results are not examined critically but just relayed and relayed endlessly, leaving the book with only the murkiest organization and the slightest structure.

New lenses to look at the world
This book has nuggets of peer-reviewed and research supported wisdom. It has clues about our choices in life and mostly how things on an unconscious level have control over our decisions and experiences. However, now we know and applying some of these, such as spending more time in nature and being more alert in terms of colour, seasons and hight to live on, should make our lives easier and more efficient.
