Coming up next on Passion Struck.
Welcome to Passion Struck.
I'm your host, John Myles.
This is the show where we explore the art of human flourishing and what it truly means to live like it matters.
Each week, I sit down with changemakers, creators, scientists, and everyday heroes to decode the human experience and uncover the tools that help us lead with meaning, heal what hurts, and pursue the fullest expression of who we're capable of becoming.
Whether you're designing your future, developing as a leader or seeking deeper alignment in your life, this show is your invitation to grow with purpose and act with intention.
Because the secret to a life of deep purpose, connection and impact is choosing to live like you matter.
Hey friends, and welcome back to episode 746 of Passion Struck.
Throughout this Life Beyond the Script series, we've been exploring what happens when the assumptions we've lived by about identity, health, success, and connection stop working.
Earlier this week in my conversation with Dr. Justin Garcia,
We looked at intimacy, how humans are biologically wired to bond, and why modern life is creating an unprecedented crisis of connection.
Because beneath everything else we pursue, most of us are searching for something deeply human, to feel understood, to feel safe, to feel like we belong.
But there's another layer even deeper than relationships, the beliefs that shape how we interpret everything.
including ourselves, because before we change our life externally, we interpret it internally.
My guest today is Nir Eyal, behavioral expert and New York Times bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and now his new book, Beyond Belief.
In this conversation, we explore a powerful and sometimes uncomfortable idea.
Your beliefs don't just reflect reality,
They shape it.
Muir explains how beliefs influence motivation, pain, resilience, relationships, and even how long we persist when things get hard.
He shows that many of the limits we experience are not structural, they're perceptual.
