A Masterclass in Changing Your Limiting Beliefs - Nir Eyal - #1074

0:00Neera, we'll come to the show.

0:02Thanks, Chris.

0:02Great to be back.

0:03Dude, 2019, episode 104, all the way to now.

0:08I'm going to take credit for all your success since then.

0:11It was.

0:12It was built on.

0:12Is that okay?

0:13Was I the lucky charm?

0:14It was built on a foundation of you and Indistractible.

0:17That's exactly correct.

0:18New one, all about belief.

0:21Why is belief so important?

0:25Okay, so beliefs turns out to be the lens with which we see the world.

0:31And I had no idea how profound this research that's been coming out over the past several years has on our day-to-day lives, how beliefs shape what we see, literally shape what we see.

0:41I can show the same exact image to two different people and they will see completely different things.

0:45It's called the coffer illusion.

0:46You can look at this piece of paper and I can show you it to one person based on where they grew up and their priors, their beliefs, and they'll see circles.

0:54I can show it to somebody else based on where they grew up.

0:56They'll see rectangles.

0:57It's incredible.

0:58Beliefs not only shape what you see, not just figuratively, but they actually shape reality that you see.
