Hooked Nir Eyal

 Hello my fellow book lovers! In Hooked, Nir Eyal demystifies the psychology behind habit-forming products through a powerful, four-step framework—the Hook Model.

So let’s look at this year’s Oscar winners, and let me tell you that I have not watched a single nominated movie this year, because we have completely cut down our screen times. Adwitya deserves to live in the real world as much as possible before the inevitable screens that surround us occupy her brain throughout waking life. On that note, the free-form movies that play in our minds while we sleep are serious contenders for oscars. Blockbuster action, heart wrenching drama, gut busting laugh-out-loud comedy, mysterious whodunit, poignant slice-of-life...
