SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Nir Eyal
DESCRIPTION:Reshape Your Beliefs and Unlock Your True Potential with Nir Eyal \nInternationally Bestselling Author of Hooked and Indistractable \nWhat if the only thing standing between you and the seemingly impossible…was belief? This is the question posed by bestselling author Nir Eyal in his new work\, Beyond Belief. \nMost of your limits aren’t physical. They’re psychological. In Beyond Belief\, Nir Eyal 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. \nGrounded 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. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nSpot hidden opportunities and solutions others overlook.\n\n\nReclaim your mood\, energy\, and confidence by reshaping your beliefs.\n\n\nStay calm\, decisive\, and in control when life feels uncertain.\n\n\nBreak free from beliefs that sabotage your health\, relationships\, and career.\n\n\nPush further\, last longer\, and achieve beyond your limits.\n\nIf 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. \nSurgeries 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. \nRegister now to learn more about how we can unlock our true potential. \nRegister\nUpcoming Author Talks\nPast Virtual Author Talks\nAbout the Author: \nNir Eyal writes\, consults\, and teaches about the intersection of psychology\, technology\, and human potential.

Come hungry\, there is plenty to eat! New members always welcome to join. \nFAQs \n\n\n\n\nWhere do I find the book? The selected book is available at the library’s front desk to make photocopies or check out.  There may be other cookbooks by the same author or alternative cookbooks with the same type of food available as well. \n\n\nDo I have to bring a dish to share? No\, but it is very much encouraged. The more recipes to share and discuss\, the more fun. \n\n\nMay I make a recipe not from the selected book? Yes. We encourage you to use the chosen book\, but do not feel pressure if you are not able to. \n\n\nDo I have to follow the recipe exactly? No! Use substitutions as you see fit\, but PLEASE inform everyone in case of allergies\, food aversions\, etc. \n\n\nI have a food aversion or allergy\, can I still come? Yes! Although there may be food that isn’t a part of your diet there will be plenty of conversation and fun for all. \n\n\nWhat else do I need to bring? The library provides plates\, napkins\, serving utensils\, power outlets\, microwave\, and most other neccesities. \n\n\nHow do I know that someone won’t make the same dish as me? That is a risk that we will just have to take. Sometimes dishes may be duplicated\, but that is okay.
