1. The Hook Model: A four-stage cycle of trigger, action, reward, and investment designed to hijack your dopamine. This is the modern version of Bernoulli's gambling experiment, exploiting our tendency to act irrationally when faced with uncertain rewards. 2. The UC Irvine Study: Dr. Gloria Mark discovered each digital interruption triggers 23 minutes and 5 seconds of recovery time - transforming your supposed 12-hour workday into just 4 hours of actual deep work. 3. Just like the ancient Chinese torture "Lingchi", every notification and digital distraction creates tiny "cuts" in your focus, slowly bleeding your dopamine dry throughout the day. 4. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy reveals our unique human ability to create a gap between trigger and response - this is the key to breaking free from Silicon Valley's manipulation. 5. The solution isn't adding more productivity apps. Like Toyota's revolutionary 5S system, true performance comes from eliminating everything that doesn't create direct value. 6. Your current productivity system is likely working against you - built on willpower instead of systems, making you vulnerable to Silicon Valley's psychological warfare. 7. Before optimising your sleep, nutrition, or implementing advanced biohacks, you must first escape the Bernoulli Trap. Without this foundation, even the most sophisticated performance protocols will fail.
