A peek inside . . .
In Volume 1, we introduce Behavioral Design as a field and framework, with a special emphasis on habit formation.
We review the ethics of Behavioral Design and how these techniques can be used for good. We explore what techniques Behavioral Design offers us to change user behavior, and we focus in on how the Cue-Action-Reward (CAR) Model has been used to induce habits.
Chapters 2 and 3 dive deep into how habits work – and what your team can do to start engineering them using the CAR Model.
We review what habits are really made of, the science behind behavior change and habit-formation, and real examples of how you can get started building a habit-forming product.
What was Boundless Mind?
We wrote Digital Behavioral Design book while building the company Boundless Mind. It was a startup dedicated to making behavior change easier by making tools for app developers. Backed by investors including Lowercase Capital, Social Starts, Esther Dyson, and Howard Morgan, Boundless had the privilege of working on some important problems.
We helped:
- Patients stick to difficult medical behaviors
- Reduce cyber-bullying
- Keep drivers attentive and alert
Boundless was acquired by Thrive Global in 2019 to help power its employee wellness and platform behavior change platform.
What is Temper?
We’re still passionate about behavior change! Many of the leaders from Boundless Mind have joined forces again, this time to make metabolic fitness more accessible and achievable. Now, we’re taking our behavior change skill directly to consumers through Temper.
No behaviors have a bigger impact on our health, happiness, and fulfillment than those that contribute to metabolic fitness. Everyone knows what these behaviors are, and everyone wishes that they would do them, but so few people do! We aim to change that.
