Book Description

Yu-Kai Chou's book Actionable Gamification is a canonic book about gamification - using game techniques in non-entertainment contexts e.g. to make employees more motivated to work better, to make children be more motivated to clean up after themselves, to make customers be addicted to to digital products etc.

Why do some apps, workplaces, and experiences hook people while others fail? In Actionable Gamification, Yu-kai Chou, a world-renowned gamification pioneer, reveals how you can design experiences that motivate, engage, and drive real results—using the proven Octalysis Framework.
