This book is aimed at a very narrow sliver of products and the title is way too broad (bait?) I realized this painfully after buying the book and starting reading the first few pages (unfortunately, no try before you buy on amazon for me!). When the back flap says everybody in silicon valley is talking about it - and reading the title it would appear this book applies to all products.
Mincing no words, this book is really about messing with your head (the new age fad of companies like facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest, and amazon/google as well). The central idea is to play mind games and keep you addicted to services offered by these companies (free ofcourse) and basically raise/tend/ream you in this walled garden keeping you captive (without your acknowledged consent). I recall reading several moons ago how some of the people who were founders of companies of making products have now called time and fear what they have unleashed.
Classical marketing has used tools but they never breached the realm of manufacturing consent without your express approval. The ideas presented in print and TV were subtle. What products offered by the said companies are full on invasion of your privacy and your mind. The level to which these companies understand you (and what makes you tick!) is mind boggling.
My opinion said (which aligns with the central premise of the book), I am only first couple chapters through and will come update this review in due course.

A guide to how you are being manipulated
Granskad i Storbritannien den 2 maj 2017Verifierat köp
This book is largely aimed at entrepreneurs and tech people, for obvious reasons.
I however read it as a consumer, who is becoming very mindful of how much tech I consume. So rather than read it as a 'how to' guide, I read it as a 'what to look out for' guide to make sure I use the internet productively.
It didn't disappoint. It was full of data, yet managed to be a very easy read.
The author also spent enough time, for me, discussing the ethics of persuasion for me not to be too concerned that this book will be used for nefarious reasons (though I am sure bad people will be able to use it to create addictive tech).
Either way it's important for the wider world to know these things

A must-read for everyone who cares about driving customer engagement.
Granskad i Storbritannien den 21 januari 2021Verifierat köp
In this book Nir Eyal provides a simple yet powerful model to help your customers form habits that connect their problems with your solutions.
The Hooked model focuses on:
An initial 'trigger'
Which drives an 'action'
Where you get a 'variable reward'
Which causes an 'investment' due to reciprocation
Nir provides some fascinating insights into how companies have successfully adopted this model eg. Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Tinder and case studies from The Bible App and Fitbod, where Nir tells his story of the personal benefits he got from Fitbod.
Social media companies and video game makers know these tactics already, but Nir wrote this book so everyone can build products that help people do what they really want, but for the lack of good product design, don't.

Habit Creation Bible
Granskad i Storbritannien den 30 september 2016Verifierat köp
Hooked is based around the four step process that causes products, apps to become habit forming. The battle most tech companies now face is the battle for consumer’s attention. The vast majority of the population now carry round with them a device that triggers their attention, businesses and services can get them thinking or acting in desired ways around the clock.
Billion pound valuations have been drummed up for companies such as Whatsapp, Snapchat and Instagram without taking a penny, because these apps were to become so heavily engrained into peoples lives. Attention comes first, monetisation second. These wild valuations come from the ability these apps have to make consumers use them everyday, all the time, with minimal conscious prompting. The book helps to establish the process apps go through to get to this habit forming status, following a ‘trigger’, ‘action’, ‘reward’, ‘investment’. It takes all four to create a habit forming product and have a longevity to success.
The book describes the reward elements that drive our actions. The needs of the self, the tribe, and the hunt. It puts many everyday things into perspective and gave me a greater understanding us to why we act as we do. I found this aspect particularly eye opening.
Overall I found this book extremely useful, and look forward to referencing it in the future. Highly recommend.

Hooked from the start!
Granskad i Storbritannien den 7 augusti 2017Verifierat köp
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK... unless you want to know exactly how companies guide today's designers (aka growth hackers) to 'manipulate' their end users in the fight over web traffic, time spent on page and app addiction.
This book is written in simple terms and supported with relevant examples as well as historical research to take many points home.
Nir does an amazing job in sharing all the insights he has gathered in the past 2.5 years and turns it into a fascinating read (first book I finished in under 24 hours).
MOSTLY RECOMMENDED!
p.s. this could be a great gift to all those young teens wanting to be UX designers or are addicted gamers :)
Enjoy
