Josh Trent welcomes Nir Eyal, behavioral design expert and author of Beyond Belief, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 831, to explore why motivation is not a straight line, why the beliefs we treat as facts are often the only thing keeping us stuck, and why the brain is not a recording machine but a prediction device that filters reality through whatever it already believes to be true.
