Left Field
The journey so far has been a fair balance of both worlds, a frequent taste of two extremes. I have been bold and timid, confident and nervous in the same circumstance. I have dared many instances and I have refrained in many.
Many times I have been down and wanted life to end, and other times I have enjoyed life and wished for more of it. I have probably cried more than most men and in other times, rejoiced more than many. In all these, one thing I can say is, life does not just happen.
Therefore, it might be a bit unfair to hoard the experiences that have birthed answers to some questions not openly asked or topics not easily discussed.

Hooked
Why do some products capture widespread attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of sheer habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us?
Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) by explaining the Hook Model—a four-step process embedded into the products of many successful companies to subtly encourage customer behavior. Through consecutive “hook cycles,” these products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.
Hooked is based on Eyal’s years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he wished had been available to him as a start-up founder—not abstract theory, but a how-to guide for building better products. Hooked is written for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anyone who seeks to understand how products influence our behavior.
