Joining me is behavioral expert and bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable, Nir Eyal, to discuss his groundbreaking new book, Beyond Belief.In this conversation, we challenge the idea that our limits are structural. Nir explains how beliefs influence everything from our physical pain tolerance and resilience to how long we persist when things get hard. We move from the surprising science of the placebo effect to the psychological traps of learned helplessness, revealing that many of the barriers we face are perceptual rather than physical.If you have ever felt stuck in a pattern you can't break, or wondered why motivation feels so fleeting, this episode offers a cognitive roadmap for reclaiming authorship over your inner world. We explore why perception often determines suffering more than circumstance and how changing a single belief can unlock behavior that once felt impossible.Passion Struck is the #1 alternative health and personal growth podcast dedicated to human flourishing and the science of mattering. It is ranked #1 on FeedSpot’s list of the Top Passion Podcasts on the Web and is consistently recognized among the world’s top business and mindset podcasts.Check the full show notes here: https://passionstruck.com/how-beliefs-shape-behavior-nir-eyal/ Explore guided prompts, reflections, and a companion reflection guide connected to this episode at: https://TheIgnitedLife.net Thank You to Our SponsorsLimited Time Offer – Get Huel today with my exclusive offer of 15% OFF online with my code PASSION at huel.com/passion .
