Behaviour First. The psychology every business needs to know.
What's the book about?

Why don’t people save more for their retirement?

Why don’t patients listen to health professionals and take medication that could save their lives?

Why do appeals to get people to change their energy consumption fail to have any significant effect?

Why do teenagers fail to follow the warnings of safety campaigns?

If you’ve ever attempted to motivate a customer, client, patient, or loved one to do something that would be better for them, you know how hard it can be. 

Behavioural psychologist, Paul Davies, reveals why our intuition to educate is the #1 worst way to spark action and how we should instead use a Behaviour First approach .

Insightful and entertaining, Behaviour First will change the way you approach motivating your fellow humans.
