Framework 312 · in one look
How to use it

The pull to buy, to open the app or to skip the session fires before you decide. Name it ('that's wanting'), take ten breaths, then choose. Wanting is a signal, not an order.

How sure we are

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.

Sources

Brain activity linked to wanting a product rose before the buying decision and predicted it better than people's own ratings (Knutson et al. 2007, fMRI, 🟡) · the ten breaths are our addition (🟠).
