The Science of Overcoming Limits (Live with Nir Eyal)
Exploring the hidden beliefs that shape what we see, attempt, and achieve
Dear Insiders,
One of the perks of being an Author Insider is access to special live conversations with The Next Big Idea Club. And we’ve got a great one coming up tomorrow.
On Friday, March 26, at 1:30 p.m. ET, I’ll be hosting a Substack Live with Nir Eyal, author of Hooked and Indistractable.
We’ll be discussing his new book, the instant New York Times bestseller Beyond Belief: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Extraordinary Results.
The core idea is deceptively simple: what holds us back isn’t just effort, discipline, or circumstances—it’s what we believe is possible. And those beliefs, Nir argues, aren’t fixed truths. They’re tools.
In this live conversation, we’ll explore how those hidden assumptions shape what we see, attempt, and ultimately achieve. And, importantly, how to change them.
We’ll get into:
Why we systematically underestimate our own potential
How hidden beliefs shape what you create, share, and hold back
Practical ways to break unhelpful creative patterns (without relying on more discipline)
How to stay steady and keep producing, even under pressure
If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed your own abilities, or found yourself repeating the same patterns, this one should be especially useful.
Join us live tomorrow, Friday, March 26th, at 1:30 p.m. ET.
