It’s free to download, so go right ahead.
A human 1st approach to designing solutions
Don’t put up with any guesswork – let the Creatures of Habit assist you in asking the right questions to uncover the most important influencing factors.
The Creatures of Habit represent 7 major thinking shortcuts that control our thoughts and behaviours. Once you can identify them, you can tune into them and start to find ways to nudge behaviours in a different direction.

This toolkit is for everyone that wants to influence a change and make a difference. It makes the principles of neuroscience and behavioural economics accessible, without being shrouded by complex science. It’s designed to be easy to understand and mostly common sense. Basically, less of the ‘high brow’ and more of the ‘show me how’!
How can you use it
Whether you are designing a campaign, a service, a product or looking to improve any kind of human interaction, you can use the Creatures of Habit to adapt to ways people think and influence their behaviour. Whether it’s overcoming tough challenges, influencing purchase decisions or ensuring innovation is successful, this toolkit will help you push all the right behavioural buttons.
The following are a cross-section of challenges where this method has been applied.
