Today, I sit down with my friend Nir Eyal, the author of three bestselling books, including his latest, *Beyond Belief*, which just hit the New York Times bestseller list. Nir recently blew my mind when he told me he doesn't \"believe in jet lag\" after flying from Europe to Asia, and that was just the appetizer for our conversation. In his typical science-backed style, Nir reveals the surprising research behind why some people persist where others quit, and how our beliefs—not always our circumstances—are often the key to unlocking our full potential. He shares practical, data-driven strategies I'm already applying in my own life and creative work, and I think you will too.\n\nTimestamps:\n00:00 Introduction\n01:26 Belief and Placebos\n05:25 Why Placebo Effect is Getting Stronger\n06:59 When Pain is Not Suffering\n10:10 Hypnosedation and Unlocking Potential\n15:35 Applying Beliefs to Creative Process\n19:10 Chasing Happiness vs. Decreasing Suffering\n21:47 Why Positive Thinking Can Be Harmful\n26:34 Applying Belief-Shifting to Relationships\n31:03 Changing Your Mind and Beliefs\n35:35 Belief Problems, Not People Problems\n37:25 High Expectations, Low Control Leads to Burnout\n40:03 Internal vs. External Locus of Control\n44:27 The Rat Experiment and Persistence\n47:47 What's Next for Nir Eyal\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.
