About Nir and This Blog

Hi, I’m Nir.

This blog is about the intersection of psychology, technology, and business and encompasses user experience design, behavioral economics, and a dash of neuroscience.

I write for TechCrunch, Forbes, Psychology Today, and am a frequent speaker at industry conferences and Fortune 500 companies. I’m a Lecturer in Management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and I’ve sold two technology companies since 2003.

For most of my career I’ve worked in the video gaming and advertising industries where I learned, applied, and at times rejected, the techniques used to motivate and manipulate users. I write to help companies create behaviors that benefit their users, while educating people on how to build healthful habits in their own lives.

Although I received most of my education earning an advanced degree from the The School of Hard Knocks, I also received an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

The video below was made by Oreon Mounter and his team at MomentCo.com. Oreon is a long-time reader and startup entrepreneur with some amazing video production skills. He followed me for a few days while I was in Toronto with the goal of capturing the ethos of my work helping companies build better products.

    Hi Nir, Love to read more of what you teach but, unfortunately after registering for updates I did not get any mail (not even in spam) and there is no way on your site to ask from the system to resend it. (on the conterary, when I log in it says I did not confirm my email address.)
    Any idea what to do?

    This is the second email address I submitted. With the first one I did get the notification mail but never got the book you promised. (I thought this was a termporary problem therefore registered with a second email address)
