How to Overcome Time Anxiety Author, Nir Eyal

In this episode, Jess sits down with bestselling author Nir Eyal to unpack his newest book, Beyond Belief — and the conversation goes far deeper than productivity hacks or surface-level motivation advice. Nir, the author of Hooked and Indistractable, explains why knowing what to do isn’t the problem. We already have more information than ever. The real challenge is understanding why we don’t do what we know we should. He breaks down the hidden power of belief — how limiting beliefs quietly sabotage performance, relationships, and even health — and how shifting perspective can unlock persistence, clarity, and focus. What makes this conversation powerful is that it’s not theoretical. Jess steps into the hot seat and works through his own internal tension around time, ambition, and self-expectation. It turns into a candid, almost therapeutic exploration of identity, pressure, and what it really means to live up to your potential. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite knowing exactly what to do next, this one will hit home. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
