Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1896DM Nir Eyal tried every diet. Low fat. Vegetarian. Keto. Intermittent fasting. They all worked until they didn't. The moment someone planted a seed of doubt, he'd spiral into what psychologists call the "What the Hell Effect." One slice of pizza becomes the whole pie. Then the belief sets in: diets don't work. That belief was the real enemy. What changed everything was understanding that all human motivation comes from one thing: the desire to escape discomfort. Time management is pain management. Money management is pain management. Weight loss is pain management. Learn to manage the discomfort, and the game completely changes.
