Hooked | Nir Eyal | Before the Bestseller 110


In this episode, we welcome Nir Eyal, a renowned author, speaker, and expert in the field of behavioral design. His curiosity about how people form habits and make decisions shaped his writing, particularly in his books Hooked and Indistractable. Hooked explores the psychology behind building habit-forming products, while Indistractable dives into the root causes of distraction, offering practical tools to help people regain focus and manage their habits.

Nir delves into powerful insights on how habits are formed and how we can take control of our attention in a world full of distractions. He shares strategies like his 10-Minute Rule—a simple but effective tool to resist distractions and stay focused—and discusses why most distractions stem from internal emotional triggers.

If you’re looking to boost your productivity, build lasting habits, or take control of your attention in today’s distraction-filled world, Nir’s practical insights and curiosity-driven strategies will guide you to greater focus and self-discipline. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on human behavior and habit formation!
