The ‘Pavlok’ Fitness Tracker Uses Electroshock Therapy To Keep Your Ass In Line — Miss Your Goals, Get Shocked

The ‘Pavlok’ is a new device that came into being via crowd funding, it’ll launch on the 1st of October, and it’s equal parts ‘fitness tracker’ and ‘electroshock therapy habit breaker’. So what makes the Pavlok so revolutionary? If you miss your daily goals you get a shock. If you’re trying to break a habit and fall back on old habits you get a shock. For instance, say you smoke cigarettes and want to quit. You sync up the Pavlok with the accompanying app + sensors, and when the device detects that you’re smoking you get the ever living sh*t shocked out of your wrist, pairing an extremely negative stimulus with a bad habit.

Here’s the science behind the Pavlok as explained by the company’s CEO, Maneesh Sethi:

Want to set pushup and pull-up goals for yourself? Get a Pavlok.
Want to explore the sadomasochistic side of your right wrist? Get a Pavlok.

In the field of Psychology few things are as controversial as Electroshock Therapy. In fact, next to the Lobotomy medical procedure (disruption/removal of the prefrontal cortex in the brain) I’d wager that there isn’t a single form of treatment within Psychology that is so divisive. But the thing about the Pavlok is that it doesn’t just provide shocks for bad habits and failing to meet goals, it also provides sounds, taps, and beeps to train you brain to prefer the good habits in your life.

The Pavlok’s not just a device used to break bad habits, it’s a fitness tracker designed to help you build GOOD HABITS. And since I know each and every one of you bros out there have some bad habits to break (and good habits to build), you can PRE-ORDER YOUR OWN PAVLOK NOW!
