Amos Tversky
“Chance is commonly viewed as a self-correcting process in which a deviation in one direction induces a deviation in the opposite direction to restore the equilibrium. In fact, deviations are not "corrected" as a chance process unfolds, they are merely diluted.”
Amos Tversky, Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases

“There are many counterintuitive and surprising ways companies can boost users'' motivation or increase their ability by understanding heuristics - the mental shortcuts we take to make decisions and form opinions”
Ryan Hoover, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products
