How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World

Anne-Laure Le Cunff

Time to ditch outdated notions of how to find success. Neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals a new, easier way to reach your goals: the experimental mindset.

We’re told productivity is all about single-minded focus, hard grind and big goals. Deviating from the linear path means failure. The problem: it’s not true. As neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff has learned, there is an easier, proven method to achieve our ambitions: an experimental mindset. There is joyful power in ‘tiny experiments’ through which we discover, pursue, and adapt our goals to our own terms.

Rooted in science and real-world success stories, Anne-Laure joins us to share actionable tools to help you break free from limiting beliefs, harness the power of imperfection and apply your curiosity—to create a meaningful, productive life in an ever-changing world.

Tickets to this livestream event are free for members of How To +.

Praise for Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s Tiny Experiments:

‘Through the ingenious lens of the tiny experiment, Anne-Laure Le Cunff shows how we can jettison arduous and dispiriting attempts at self-improvement or habit change in favour of achievable and energising adventures on the path to a more vibrant, accomplished and wholehearted life.’ – Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals

‘In Tiny Experiments, Anne-Laure Le Cunff shows how to separate ambition from rigid linear goals, allowing uncertainty to bloom into possibility and a meaningful life to emerge organically. A compelling new take on a timeless concern.’ – Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Deep Work
