PICS: Nir Eyal + Keith Ferrazzi Discuss 'Hooked'

On Thursday December 18, Nir Eyal dropped by Cross Campus to discuss his book ‘HOOKED: How to Form Habit-Forming Products’ (buy now at Amazon)

Eyal started out with a lively 15 minute preso that perfectly applies clinical psychology, in a plainspoken manner, into the buildout of a product.

Technology is the cigarette of the 21st century, it’s up to us to apply the principals of The Hook to build positive practices that are reinforced by habit.

I’m not even gonna try to simplify his easily-digestible presentation — see notes on the LA Tech Digest Twitter feed, again, buy the book, HOOKED will be THE business book of 2015.
