The Invisible Limits Holding You Back (And How to Change Them)

Bestselling author Nir Eyal argues that the real barriers to personal growth aren't external but internal — our limiting beliefs about ourselves, our abilities, and what's possible. Drawing on neuroscience and psychology, he explains how beliefs direct our attention, shape our expectations, and determine our sense of agency, forming a 'Belief Triangle' that underpins motivation and behavior change. Eyal shares research on placebo effects, perception filters, and internal vs. external locus of control to show how changing our beliefs can unlock breakthroughs. He also provides practical strategies to identify and challenge self-limiting beliefs, including a 4-question technique called The Turnaround.
