Perception: We See Through Beliefs

Mindset is everything, but what if your beliefs are holding you back? Nir Eyal faced this painful reality when readers praised his work, yet still struggled to change their habits or act on a single piece of advice. It led him to a deeper truth: in a world overflowing with information, knowledge isn’t the problem; hidden limiting beliefs are. That realization led him to write Beyond Belief.
