The Power of Curiosity with Anne-Laure Le Cunff

If you struggle with building new habits or find it challenging to complete your personal goals, today’s episode is going to be a breath of fresh air! I’m thrilled to chat with neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff about her new book Tiny Experiments.

I love how Le Cunff makes scientific frameworks accessible for non-neuroscientists like me, and I found her book to be inspiring and refreshing in a sea of books that ask readers to hyper-optimize ourselves. Le Cunff's approach to experiments rooted in curiosity, discovery, and self-compassion—which we need more of when it comes to productivity!  

Here are some of the things we get into:

• When to choose an experimental mindset over traditional goal setting
• The difference between projects and experiments
• Viewing “failure” as helpful data (instead of judging ourselves)
• How curiosity is necessary for experimenting
• Learning in public (one of my favorite chapters in the book!)
