GrowOrPay

Books that shaped GrowOrPay

These are the books behind why this app exists. Read them and you'll understand the psychology of the model.

James Clear

Atomic Habits

The science of behavior change through small, consistent action. TODO(Antonio): add your personal note on why this book maps onto the GrowOrPay model โ€” the 1% daily-improvement framing pairs naturally with our one-tap daily commitment.

Charles Duhigg

The Power of Habit

TODO(Antonio): blurb. (The cue-routine-reward loop is the core mechanism we are exploiting โ€” the daily deadline is the cue, tapping YES is the routine, avoiding the charge is the reward.)

Daniel Kahneman

Thinking, Fast and Slow

TODO(Antonio): blurb. (Loss aversion โ€” losing $20 hurts roughly twice as much as gaining $20 feels good โ€” is the reason a tiny real fee outperforms a thousand "streak broken" notifications.)

Nir Eyal

Indistractable

TODO(Antonio): blurb. (Eyal's pact-based commitment devices are essentially the manual version of what GrowOrPay automates โ€” pre-committing to a cost if you fail to do the thing you said you'd do.)
