  • Love Nir’s Brain

    I’ve been a fan of Nir and his thinking since Hooked came out… then indistractable came out and he made lightning strike twice! This podcast is an expansion of Nir’s thinking and a unique opportunity to peek into the way his mind works to help us live better.

  • Habit forming

    Hi Nir,

    Love your podcast and the Hooked framework. Can you share some insights on how to retain and engage with customers on a product that doesn’t have high frequency of use. It’s regarding a productivity app which the users would use when they have a need (which can be not too often).

If you do not have ADHD, this is one area where you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and how much it can affect your quality of life. It’s a very real and very painf... more

  • One of the best!!

    I’m an technician who became a micro-business owner - and wearing ALL the hats had me staring burnout in the face. This podcast has really helped me increase my tools and my focus - and the new interview format is really engaging. I look forward to listening first thing every Monday! Burnout is being held at bay…perhaps almost banished!
