Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious - even liberating - audiobook, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market.

For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Publisher's Summary
Note to Audible Listeners: As of December 2019, this version of the Hooked audiobook has been revised and rerecorded to greatly improve audio quality. Please disregard any reviews mentioning poor audio quality prior to December 2019.
Why do some products capture our attention, while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us? This audiobook introduces listeners to the "Hooked Model", a four-step process companies use to build customer habits. Through consecutive cycles through the hook, successful products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back repeatedly - without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging.
Hooked is a guide to building products people use because they want to, not because they have to. Written for product managers, designers, marketers, startup founders, and people eager to learn more about the things that control our behaviors, this audiobook gives listeners:
- Practical insights to create user habits that stick.
- Actionable steps for building products people love.
- Behavioral techniques used by Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and other habit-forming products.
- New for second edition! An additional case study for building health habits.
Nir Eyal distilled years of research, consulting, and practical experience to write a manual for creating habit-forming products. Nir has taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. His writing on technology, psychology, and business appears in the Harvard Business Review, The Atlantic, TechCrunch, and Psychology Today. He is also the author of Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.

If it wasn't so short, I wouldn't have finished it
This book touches on a lot of interesting ideas, but you may have already encountered 99% of them with much greater depth and nuance if you've read any of the well known literature in behavioral economics, persuasion, or product development. The writing was average - competent, but definitely didn't 'hook' me. Instead of this, go read Dan Arieli, Robert Cialdini, Eric Reis, Thaler/Sunstein, and Daniel Kahneman.

Solid but for a very specific audience
This had great info but it’s very narrowly applicable to people developing products that they want to get people hooked on. There’s a little on habit development and the psychology behind it but if you aren’t directly developing a product designed to get people hooked this book won’t offer much for you. (Not a criticism, just saying, the premise is narrow)

I recently listened to a podcast interview with the author who was promoting his new book; Indestractable. I was interested in the author so bought this book while I wait for his new book to be available.
The content was good but didn't blow me away like the podcast interview did. I will chalk this up to one of the author's early works that he has probably improved on since then.

Insubstantial and outdated
IF you have never read any of the source material (Nudge, Thinking Fast and Slow) this overlong blogpost pulls from, you should read those and not this. If you have, this is a TED Talk given by someone who has also read those books. The examples and stories are out of date and superceded. Probably worst of all it is implied that the successful designs were empirical and rigorously grounded, when in fact they were mostly by chance and driven by experiments and metrics.
If you are building digital products and services and refer to this book or any of the neologisms within it as part of your planning and design, I would seriously recommend you learn much more about... everything. This book will not help you build anything worthwhile or lasting, it's a slideshow version of innovation.
Anyway you aren't missing much, it's all of 3 hours of material, most of that is padding: "in this book I will tell you all the secrets! Do you ever wonder what the secrets were? Did you ever think to yourself 'i wish I knew the secrets'? Well I will tell you the secrets, they are the kind of secrets that are so secret that nobody has told you them yet, and that's just what you said you wanted to know..."

Good Book, Terrible Recording
What did you like best about Hooked? What did you like least?
As a survey of how to capture interest online, Nir Eyal has some fantastic insights and the words are worth the price. It will give anyone good ideas and builds a credible thesis. BUT, his recording of this book is awful. He obviously recorded it himself it in a very low tech way, and the audio quality switches throughout the book from bad to worse. I've worked audio recording sessions throughout my career, and I can tell that Nir did little research or trial and error practice recordings to create the audiobook.. If you can survive the recording, you'll learn good things from what he has to say. You might be better off buying the lower cost eBook instead.
Would you be willing to try another book from Nir Eyal? Why or why not?
Yes, his research and insights are good.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
IN ADDITION to the poor audio quality, he often stumbles through his words. LEARN TO DO MORE THAN 1 AUDIO TAKE if you record your own book! We pay a lot of money for these, and expect at least a bare minimum quality that isn't in this book.

Good content but bad audio and little overview
The narration is done by Nir Eyal himself. Overall he does it okay, but the microphone he has used must have been really cheap. And post-processing (compression, noise gate, etc) skipped altogether.
Add to the above that he occasionally stumbles over his words. These mistakes have not been edited out of the audiobook. Not a huge problem, but it leaves an impression of a very unpolished, maybe rushed, audiobook.
The content itself is good. Nir Eyal certainly knows his stuff. I watched an interview with him on Growthhacker.tv before getting this book. But: the content lends itself much more to a written format. As an audiobook, I miss a sense of overview.
So I'll be getting this in kindle ebook format instead, and I recommend you do the same;)

It was missing a Chapter and end credits
The content was good. The problem was the book is missing chapters as well as end credits.
Needs to be fixed.
Hope they update this book for those that already purchased it.

Best business audiobook I ever heard
I would recommend that you couple this audiobook with "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Truly, this is by far the best audiobook on business that I ever listened to. The product is at the heart of any business, and the product is at the heart of this book. And because building a great business requires building a great product, this book is a must-have. In fact, it reveals the secrets you need to know to build a great, habit-forming product. Still, coupled with Atomic Habits you will learn how to build the personal habits you need to have to craft life-changing products.
