About this episode

Grace Beverley interviews Nir Eyal about building better habits and overcoming distractions.

A while back I did a video on habit theory and it kind of took on a life of its own, loads of you messaged me about it and it's still one of the most popular videos I’ve ever done. So when I heard that the expert I spoke to in that video was finally coming to the UK, I knew I needed to make a recording happen.  Nir Eyal is an author and lecturer who has spent years studying what makes humans tick, how habits actually form in the brain, why we're all so distracted and what people who achieve extraordinary things actually do differently with their days. Essentially, he’s an expert in a lot of the things we love to talk about on this side of the internet. I hope you love the episode! + WHERE TO FIND NIR EYAL Website: https://www.nirandfar.com/ His book, Beyond Belief: https://www.nirandfar.com/beyond-belief/ His Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nireyal/ + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34 + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast + DILEMMA SUBMISSION If you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus…
