I’ve been of Nir’s work starting with his first book “Hooked” that really dove into how to lock in behaviors and how companies get people to repeat behaviors. The second was “Indistractable” which has been very powerful since like most people, I get distracted! It was great to dive into the science, strategies, and tactics to help you improve your attention, not get distracted, and get work done that matters!
