For many people, relationships with brothers and sisters last a lifetime, spanning decades. Sibling relationships precede friendships or romances and outlast most connections to parents. Eighty percent of us have brothers and sisters who share our DNA and are often the unique keepers of our intimate histories. Our siblings can be our allies and our competition, our tormentors and our protectors, our best friends and our enemies. Research has found that these relationships are just as influential to our development as parenting.

In an age of instant gratification, same-day delivery, and zero-effort living, we've engineered comfort into every corner of existence and paid a steep price. The Friction Advantage reveals why removing all struggle is quietly eroding our strength, resilience, and sense of purpose. Drawing on neuroscience, evolutionary biology, stoic wisdom, and real-world examples from Biosphere 2 trees collapsing without wind to London cabbies building bigger brains through effort Julian Bravo argues that voluntary friction is the secret to thriving.

Alone Together explores one of the defining contradictions of modern life: we are constantly connected, yet increasingly lonely. In an age shaped by social media feeds, algorithms, and digital performance, this audiobook examines how technology has quietly altered the way we relate, belong, and experience intimacy. Through clear insights, reflective storytelling, and accessible psychology, the book reveals how digital platforms prioritize engagement over empathy, speed over depth, and visibility over vulnerability—leaving many people feeling unseen even as their networks grow larger.

We think we are rational creatures. Economics and business rely on the assumption that we make logical decisions based on evidence. But we aren’t, and we don’t. In many crucial areas of our lives, reason plays a vanishingly small part. Instead we are driven by unconscious desires, which is why placebos are so powerful. We are drawn to the beautiful, the extravagant and the absurd - from lavish wedding invitations to tiny bottles of the latest fragrance. So if you want to influence people’s choices you have to bypass reason.
