Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life Sep 10, 2019

by Nir Eyal

( 1,101 )

$12.98

"Indistractable provides a framework that will deliver the focus you need to get results."
- James Clear, author of Atomic Habits

You sit down at your desk to work on an important project, but a notification on your phone interrupts your morning. Later, as you're about to get back to work, a colleague taps you on the shoulder to chat. At home, screens get in the way of quality time with your family. Another day goes by, and once again, your most important personal and professional goals are put on hold.

What would be possible if you followed through on your best intentions? What could you accomplish if you could stay focused and overcome distractions? What if you had the power to become "indistractable?"

International bestselling author, former Stanford lecturer, and behavioral design expert, Nir Eyal, wrote Silicon Valley's handbook for making technology habit-forming. Five years after publishing Hooked, Eyal reveals distraction's Achilles' heel in his groundbreaking new book.

In Indistractable, Eyal reveals the hidden psychology driving us to distraction. He describes why solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices: Abstinence is impractical and often makes us want more.

Eyal lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model. Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us.

Inside, Eyal overturns conventional wisdom and reveals:

Why distraction at work is a symptom of a dysfunctional company culture--and how to fix it

What really drives human behavior and why "time management is pain management"

Why your relationships (and your sex life) depend on you becoming indistractable

How to raise indistractable children in an increasingly distracting world

Empowering and optimistic, Indistractable provides practical, novel techniques to control your time and attention--helping you live the life you really want.

Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products Nov 4, 2014

by Nir Eyal , Ryan Hoover

( 2,345 )

$13.99

Revised and Updated, Featuring a New Case Study

How do successful companies create products people can’t put down?

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.

Eyal provides readers with:

• Practical insights to create user habits that stick.
• Actionable steps for building products people love.

• Fascinating examples from the iPhone to Twitter, Pinterest to the Bible App, and many other habit-forming products.

by Nir Eyal

( 110 )

$13.24

Wie kommt es, dass manche Produkte sofort von jedem erkannt werden und andere völlig floppen? Und wie ist es möglich, dass manche Apps, Onlineshops oder ähnliche Internetprodukte innerhalb kürzester Zeit so erfolgreich werden, dass sie aus dem Alltag der meisten Menschen gar nicht mehr wegzudenken sind? Für jeden, der ein Produkt auf den Markt bringen möchte, das im Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken ist – wie Essen, Fernsehen oder Zähneputzen – hat Nir Eyal diesen Ratgeber verfasst. Anschaulich erklärt er, worauf es bei der Produktentwicklung ankommt, ergänzt durch erläuternde Praxisbeispiele. Dieses Buch ist die perfekte Lektüre für Produktmanager, Designer und Unternehmer, aber auch für alle, die dem modernen Phänomen, dass Kunden zu abhängigen Usern und Fans mutieren, auf die Spur kommen wollen.

Die Kunst, sich nicht ablenken zu lassen: Indistractable - Werden Sie unablenkbar (German Edition) Oct 14, 2019

by Nir Eyal , Julie Li , Britta Fietzke

( 13 )

$13.99

Noch nie war die Welt so voller Ablenkungen: Kollegen, Lärm, Tweets und E-Mails sind einige der häufigsten externen Konzentrationskiller im Alltag. Schlimmer ist nur noch der selbstverschuldete Dauergebrauch von Tabletts oder Smartphones, der sein übriges dazu beiträgt, dass wir uns kaum noch längere Zeit auf etwas konzentrieren können.
In seinem neuen Buch Die Kunst, sich nicht ablenken zu lassen zeigt der Bestsellerautor Nir Eyal, wie Ablenkung in unseren Köpfen entsteht – und wie man ihr widerstehen kann. Es ist längst nicht ausreichend, sich kurze Auszeiten von seinem Smartphone oder Social Media zu verordnen. Die entscheidenden Punkte sind die richtige Einstellung, die passenden Gewohnheiten und der entsprechende Gebrauch von Technik. Dieses Buch ist ein Muss für alle, die über ihre Aufmerksamkeit wieder selbst bestimmen und die ihre Zeit wieder in den Griff bekommen möchten – im Alltag und vor allen Dingen im Berufsleben.

Creare prodotti e servizi per CATTURARE I CLIENTI (Hooked) (Italian Edition) Nov 25, 2015

by Nir Eyal

( 101 )

$11.99

Perché alcuni prodotti e servizi catturano l’attenzione del grande pubblico, mentre altri fanno flop? Che cos’hanno in più per coinvolgerci fino a creare nuove abitudini? Esiste un pattern di fondo per spiegare il modo in cui le tecnologie ci “agganciano”? Nir Eyal risponde a queste domande (e a molte altre), spiegando il Modello Hook, un processo in quattro fasi incorporato nei prodotti di molte aziende di successo per incoraggiare sottilmente il coinvolgimento dei clienti e modificarne i comportamenti. Attraverso ripetuti “cicli Hook”, questi prodotti raggiungono il loro obiettivo finale di portare gli utenti a tornare ancora e ancora, senza bisogno di pubblicità costose o di campagne insistenti.
Agganciati (Hooked) è basato su anni di ricerca, consulenza ed esperienza pratica dell’autore. È il libro che Nir Eyal avrebbe desiderato avere quando era un fondatore di start-up: non una teoria astratta, ma uno strumento pratico per creare prodotti migliori che la gente vorrà acquistare.

Come diventare indistraibili: L’autore del bestseller "Catturare i clienti" svela le tecniche per controllare l’attenzione e concentrarsi su quello che conta davvero (Italian Edition) Apr 17, 2020

by Nir Eyal

$6.99

Siete seduti alla scrivania per lavorare a un progetto importante, ma una notifica sul telefono interrompe la vostra mattinata. Poi, mentre state per rimettervi al lavoro, passa un collega per fare quattro chiacchiere. A casa, gli schermi interferiscono con il tempo di qualità che vorreste dedicare alla famiglia. Un altro giorno è passato e, ancora una volta, i vostri obiettivi personali e professionali più importanti sono rimasti al palo.
Che cosa sarebbe stato possibile se aveste dato seguito alle vostre migliori intenzioni? Quali obiettivi potreste raggiungere se riusciste a rimanere concentrati? Se aveste il potere di diventare “indistraibili”?
Autore di bestseller internazionali, ex docente a Stanford ed esperto di design comportamentale, Nir Eyal ha scritto Creare prodotti e servizi per catturare i clienti (Hooked), il manuale delle aziende di Silicon Valley per creare tecnologia in grado di formare abitudini. In questo nuovo libro, Eyal rivela i fattori psicologici nascosti che portano alla distrazione. Mostra perché il problema non si possa risolvere semplicemente rinunciando ai dispositivi tecnologici: l’astinenza è poco pratica e spesso non fa che aumentare il desiderio. L’autore svela il segreto per riuscire finalmente a fare tutto quello che ci proponiamo con un modello in quattro fasi, fondato su solide basi scientifiche. Come diventare indistraibili mostra come ricavare il meglio dalla tecnologia, senza lasciare che si porti via il meglio di noi.
