Episode Details

Hey everyone, in today’s episode, I share the mic with Nir Eyal, entrepreneur, educator and author of the best-selling book Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products.

Listen as Nir discusses the power of manipulation (and the two types of manipulation), the four essential elements that create a hook to forming a habit, why it's not the best product that wins but rather the product that comes first to mind, and the three pillars necessary for every successful new product. He illustrates his concepts using Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter—key, successful companies who have mastered the art of forming habits.
