Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A rat running through a maze will physically run faster the closer it gets to the cheese. Human beings are no different. The Goal Gradient Hypothesis dictates that our motivation and effort exponentially increase as we approach the perceived end of a task. This biological hardwiring explains why we suddenly find the energy to sprint the last hundred yards of a marathon, or why we rush to buy an overpriced coffee just to fill the final stamp on a loyalty card. This book explores how corporations weaponize this neurological momentum. We dissect the architecture of artificial progress. By analyzing video game level design, corporate sales quotas, and modern retail apps, the narrative reveals how establishing fake milestones creates an unbreakable psychological compulsion to cross the finish line. Master the mechanics of human momentum. Learn how to engineer irresistible progress loops that force customers, employees, and yourself to accelerate through the finish line.
