Nir Eyal is a New York Times bestselling author, behavioral design expert, and former lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, whose books Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief have collectively sold over one million copies in more than 30 languages. Drawing on his background in the video gaming and advertising industries, he has devoted his career to exploring the intersection of psychology, technology, and human potential — helping companies build habit-forming products and individuals reclaim focus in an age of distraction. His latest book, Beyond Belief, digs into the neuroscience and psychology of how hidden assumptions shape what we see, how we feel, and what we do, and how replacing those beliefs can unlock greater agency and performance.
