Why Read This Book
Master the fundamental principles that drive human behavior and decision-making. Every principle—reciprocity, commitment, social proof, authority, liking, scarcity—applies directly to product design, growth strategies, and user onboarding. Understanding these triggers is essential for building products people adopt and recommend. This isn't manipulation—it's understanding how humans actually make decisions so you can design ethical, effective products.
