Publisher's Summary

Note to Audible Listeners: As of December 2019, this version of the Hooked audiobook has been revised and rerecorded to greatly improve audio quality. Please disregard any reviews mentioning poor audio quality prior to December 2019.

Why do some products capture our attention, while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us? This audiobook introduces listeners to the "Hooked Model", a four-step process companies use to build customer habits. Through consecutive cycles through the hook, successful products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back repeatedly - without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.

Hooked is a guide to building products people use because they want to, not because they have to. Written for product managers, designers, marketers, startup founders, and people eager to learn more about the things that control our behaviors, this audiobook gives listeners:

  • Practical insights to create user habits that stick.
  • Actionable steps for building products people love.
  • Behavioral techniques used by Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and other habit-forming products.
  • New for second edition! An additional case study for building health habits.

Nir Eyal distilled years of research, consulting, and practical experience to write a manual for creating habit-forming products. Nir has taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. His writing on technology, psychology, and business appears in the Harvard Business Review, The Atlantic, TechCrunch, and Psychology Today. He is also the author of Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.

Good base to build a new product

To me, the narration was not so engaging & many time I felt it could have been better read than listened to.
The concepts defined & examples used are good and seems like a must know content if you are in the path of entrepreneurship or building a new product.

amazing book which is still relevant today

The book talks about habits which products use. it talks about the various mental models in a way which is understandable and yet not too technical.
A highly recommend book for all product managers and app developers

I was hooked

Given the title and subtitle of the book, the first challenge for Nir was to see if he could keep the reader "Hooked" to the book.

Not sure about others but he got me "Hooked" to the book. I may read it one more time.
