Summary
Behavioral change expert and bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief, Nir Eyal, joins Howie Chan to unpack the psychology of limiting beliefs and how they silently shape our decisions, confidence, and future. Drawing from his latest book, Nir reframes belief as a tool, not a truth. From identity labels like ADHD and personality types to cultural conditioning and media influence, he reveals how the stories we tell ourselves determine what we see, feel, and ultimately, who we become. You’ll learn how anticipation shapes perception, why the placebo effect proves belief changes biology, and how advertising programs experience before consumption. What’s Your Influence Style?
