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.

Story
In today’s society, games are fulfilling real human needs in ways that reality is not. Hundreds of millions of people globally - 174 million in the United States alone - regularly inhabit game worlds because they provide the rewards, stimulating challenges and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. Jane McGonigal argues that we need to figure out how to make the real world—our homes, our businesses and our communities—engage us in the way that games do.

An innovative guide to living gamefully, based on the program that has already helped nearly half a million people achieve remarkable personal growth. In 2009, internationally renowned game designer Jane McGonigal suffered a severe concussion. Unable to think clearly or work or even get out of bed, she became anxious and depressed, even suicidal.

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others).

Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

The best products can still lose in the marketplace. Why? They are beaten by stronger product marketing. Yet, product marketing is widely misunderstood. It includes segmenting and targeting customers, positioning products vs. alternatives, creating product collateral, and supporting sales teams. But great product marketing achieves much more: it identifies the best way to bring your product to market, accelerates your product's ability to penetrate markets over time, shapes what the world thinks about your product and your category, and inspires customers to tell your product's story.

Publisher's Summary
The new era of gamification and human-focused design optimizes for motivation and engagement over traditional function-focused design. Within the industry, studies on game mechanics and behavioral psychology have become proliferate. However, few people understand how to merge the two fields into experience designs that reliably increases business metrics and generates a return on investment. Gamification pioneer Yu-kai Chou takes the listener on a journey to learn his 12 years of obsessive research in creating the Octalysis Framework, and how to apply the framework to create engaging and successful experiences in their product, workplace, marketing, and personal lives.

Great book, but the Author...
I really love the content of the book, but have struggled to get through it because of all the little side comments that make the author seem very arrogant. He could have left out about a page worth of content in the book that makes up all of these comments and I would likely be at a 4 or 5 star rating. It makes the book feel unrelatable even though the actual content is extremely relatable.
If you can push through the small remarks, you will be rewarded with a tremendous amount of knowledge on what motivates people and how gamification can be used to influence these motivations.

Just a bunch of rules and no source references
If you wanna learn how Gamification works and how to apply it, read Reality is Broken by Jane McGonigal. This book has tried to summarize the theory while implying the author came up with it by himself while giving no one the proper credit. This is not even a simple breakdown, it's 8 core areas, with a bunch of numerical rules inside each. Hardly practical.
Most of it is self advertising. I returned the book after listening to half of it. There are cool points but these are better explained in other literature.
If you want to take a shortcut or just be able to add this topic to your LinkedIn, this book is for you. Just don't go thinking you can apply it to a product.

Best book on gamification
So many books on this subject are fluffy, solely spending time on adding badges and leaderboards to everything which in my personal experience is only sometimes effective in motivating people. But Yu-Kai unpacks the whole science behind human motivation and how to really use gamification in anything. Very engaging book and will definitely re-read and continue to add notes.

good concepts made but too much self marketing
Good book with reasonable concepts. It is annoying that he is always trying to get you to advertise for him with Twitter and sell his framework consulting capacity. At the end he even compares himself with Jesus as a prophet of sorts... So, other than trying not to throw up at his massive ego (or low self esteem?) the framework he presents seems to be pretty useful. Certainly worth reading.

Not good as an audible book
There are lots of good ideas that I will follow up on. The audible book is too hard to follow. Lots of references to things I need to recall and then I lose track and have to rewind. The gamification of the book, i.e. Stop now and post something to social media, is annoying and not conducive to the Audible experience. I listen to books while I drive, I can't do that. I returned this by chapter 8.

Opened my eyes
He simply presents his experience and research in a mental map that attempts to explain the different, general elements of human motivation while pointing to examples in modern games as examples. I'm a complete beginner and it made sense to me. I feel introduced into the field of behavioral science through a pragmatic perspective I never suspected was possible: Gamification Design. My hope and goal is to continue learning this material, extrapolate and master the principles, so that I can more effectively design my personal, religious, academic, civic, and professional lives in a manner that work *with* my sources of motivation, rather than burning myself out by attempting to blindly force myself to success.
Thank you Yu-Kai Chow for your work and for generously sharing it to help make the world a better place. I sincerely hope we can meet in person some day and share a discussion on the material-- if not that, then I hope to find like minded people who fully recognize this topic and it's worth and would happy to engage in the mutual improvement of learning and practicing the craft of life-integrated game design.

When will the author stop talking about himself?
I wish they spent more time talking about the concept of gamification, instead of their personal lives, achievements, ideas, and their preference towards apple products. I honestly do not care about the author's life. I was hoping to be educated about a topic, rather than be preached about a person's lifestyle and Tedtalk achievements. I cannot even finish this book with so much autobiographical information!

Loved this book. Enjoyable and educational not only in its presentation of the octalysis model - one that's extremely useful in developing gamified features on and off screen - but also as it's beautifully written. A mix of meaty lessons and personal anecdotes that really drive home key learning points. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to up their game.
