About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What if the only thing standing between you and the seemingly impossible…was belief?


Most of your limits aren’t physical. They’re psychological. In Beyond Belief, bestselling author Nir Eyal (Indistractable, Hooked) reveals how the hidden assumptions you carry shape what you see, how you feel, and what you do—and how to replace them with beliefs that unlock your true potential.

Grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and unforgettable case studies, Eyal introduces the Three Powers of Belief: Attention, Anticipation, and Agency. Mastering these powers transforms how you see challenges, feel about the future, and act when it matters most.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot hidden opportunities and solutions others overlook.
  • Reclaim your mood, energy, and confidence by reshaping your beliefs.
  • Stay calm, decisive, and in control when life feels uncertain.
  • Break free from beliefs that sabotage your health, relationships, and career.
  • Push further, last longer, and achieve beyond your limits.


If you’ve ever quit too soon, stalled in your career, or sabotaged your own goals, this book gives you the science and the system to go further than you thought possible.

Surgeries without anesthesia. Placebos that heal. Resilience multiplied 240 times longer. Beyond Belief reveals the science behind these breakthroughs and shows why your limits aren’t fixed—they’re learned. And with the right beliefs, you can achieve breakthrough results.

For a long time, I struggled to understand the boundary between toxic 'wishful thinking,' the placebo effect, and the actual power of belief. Eyal clarifies this brilliantly. He strips away the mystical fluff and explains the mechanics. He shows how simple wishful thinking—what he calls the 'Santa Claus theory'—leads to dangerous passivity and false comfort. The true power of belief isn't about blind optimism or waiting for a placebo to kick in; it requires high agency. By combining our desired outcomes with realistic planning for the obstacles ahead, belief shifts from a comforting illusion into a highly effective tool for execution.

Most books treat beliefs as absolute truths you have to uncover. Beyond Belief flips this completely, teaching you to treat beliefs as practical tools you can pick up or discard depending on whether they serve you

What let down and waste of time. At times contradicting and at times confusing. I had really liked Indistractible but this one is old talk rehashed in new language.
