What if the only thing standing between you and the seemingly impossible…was belief? This is the question we’ll examine in an online conversation with bestselling author Nir Eyal, discussing his new work, Beyond Belief.

Most of your limits aren’t physical. They’re psychological. In Beyond Belief, Nir Eyal reveals how the hidden assumptions you carry shape what you see, how you feel, and what you do—and how to replace them with beliefs that unlock your true potential.

Grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and unforgettable case studies, Eyal introduces the Three Powers of Belief: Attention, Anticipation, and Agency. Mastering these powers transforms how you see challenges, feel about the future, and act when it matters most.

Rhythm n’ Books Book Club
May 19 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Rebel Girl book coverKathleen Hanna’s band Bikini Kill embodied the punk scene of the 90s, and today her personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like “Rebel Girl” and “Double Dare Ya” are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from?

Rhythm n’ Books is a book club that explores nonfiction books about music. Join us in the Makerspace on Tuesday, May 19 at 7 p.m. for an in-depth discussion of Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk by Kathleen Hanna.
