Octalysis Prime

Octalysis Prime has helped people build systems that naturally drive action, both in others and in themselves.

If you’re tired of struggling with persuasion, this is where you start.

Membership starts at $1 for the first month, and the curriculum is the same Octalysis material companies have hired me to teach their teams. It’s the framework I’ve dedicated my life to developing, taught step by step.

It’s the learning home of a framework whose client implementations have reached over 1.5 billion users (methodology documented on the verified claims page). Built on the Octalysis Framework, it applies all 8 Core Drives of human motivation to make learning stick.

10,000 Hours of Play 6-step framework by Yu-kai Chou for unlocking real-life success

This 6-step framework will make your life feel like a game you just can’t stop leveling up in.

The goal is simple: turn the skills you care about into a game you actually want to keep playing.

The framework is also published as a live library: OP Hero Profiles works through 238 real lives — Einstein, Rowling, Kobe Bryant, Morris Chang — one build at a time.
