When we fail to make desired progress in life, most of us put the blame on physical and environmental limits. But my guest says that what's really holding people back is what's in their heads.Nir Eyal is the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/4ukbLDU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Breakthrough Results</a>. Today on the show, he argues that much of how we think about ourselves, our abilities, and what’s possible becomes our reality, and that getting what we want in life often comes down to changing how we perceive it. Drawing on research in neuroscience and psychology, Nir shares the three powers of belief, and how they direct your attention, alter your expectations, shape your sense of agency, and determine whether you stick with hard things long enough to see results. Along the way, he shares ways to identify and challenge the limiting beliefs that can sabotage your goals and relationships.Resources Related to the Podcast<ul><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/behavior/podcast-553-how-to-become-indistractable/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nir's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #553 — How to Become Indistractable</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/behavior/reframing-for-resilience/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AoM Article: How Reframing Builds Resilience</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/knowledge-of-men/american-philosophy-emerson-thoreau/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AoM podcast episode on William James and pragmatism</a></li></ul>Connect with Nir Eyal<ul><li><a href="https://www.nirandfar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nir's website</a></li></ul>Thanks to This Week’s Podcast Sponsor<a href="https://incogni.com/manliness" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Incogni.</a>&nbsp;Take your personal data back with Incogni!
