Neuroscientist, Anne-Laure Le Cunff challenges the traditional notion of linear goal-setting in our lives, urging us instead to embrace "tiny experiments" as a more fulfilling and adaptive approach.
In this episode, we explore the concept of liminal spaces—those uncomfortable periods of transition that often provoke anxiety. Anne-Laure shares her journey from a successful career at Google to studying neuroscience, emphasising the importance of curiosity and personal exploration over societal expectations.
We discuss how these tiny experiments can help us redefine success, allowing for growth without the pressure of rigid outcomes. Prepare to rethink your approach to goals and discover how to cultivate a more enriching and curious existence.
Takeaways:
- The concept of linear goals is often misleading, as achieving them doesn't guarantee happiness.
- Tiny experiments encourage us to embrace uncertainty and explore personal growth opportunities.
- Instead of pursuing rigid ambitions, we should focus on curiosity and experimentation in our lives.
- Learning in public allows us to connect with others and enhances our personal growth journey.
