Tiny Experiments

How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World

Neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff argues that rigid, linear goals don't fit a life full of uncertainty. Instead she suggests treating life as a series of small, curious experiments that help you learn what really works for you.

Three big ideas

  1. Life isn't linearStraight-line plans break easily. Expect detours and treat them as part of growing.
  2. Use an experimental mindsetApproach your choices with curiosity rather than fear of getting it wrong.
  3. Make a pactCommit to a small action for a set time — for example, doing something every day for a few weeks — then review it.
