Friction – What It Is And How To Reduce It

Roger Dooley

Roger Dooley is here to talk about his new book Friction. Roger is the founder of the Neuromarketing Science website, host of the Brainfluence podcast, a Forbes contributor, and the author of Friction, Brainfluence, and The Persuasion Slide. FRICTION?The Untapped Force That Can Be Your Most Powerful Advantage is about making customer’s lives easier by removing friction. 

Roger is the perfect guest for me to have on this show because neuromarketing and behavioral economics are similar in many ways, and throughout the book Roger gives examples and shares concepts of behavioral economics: including relativity, nudges, framing and more. It’s a great book, and a perfect interview topic for this show. 

If you’re a regular listener, you’ve heard me talk about Richard Thaler (the Nobel Prize winner and co-author of Nudge). Here is his review of Friction. “What do Amazon, Apple Google and Netflix have in common? They made life easier for their consumers by removing what Dooley calls friction. Reading this book will arm any manager with a mental can of WD-40.”
