He explains how companies can design products that create lasting habits by tapping into users’ internal motivations and building feedback loops that keep them coming back. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/2012/04/hooking-users-in-3-steps.html Quotes to ponder: "Habits are defined as behaviors done with little or no conscious thought."
