Description

Life isn't linear, and yet we constantly try to mould it to linear goals. The result is fear in the face of uncertainty and a sense of failure when we don't hit those marks. But what if instead we approached life as a playground for experimentationNeuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals that all you need is an experimental mindset to turn challenges into self-discovery and doubt into opportunity. Drawing on the latest science and ancient philosophy, she replaces the old linear model of success with a circular model of growth in which goals are discovered, pursued - and adapted.In this book, you will ask hard questions and design simple yet meaningful experiments to find the answers. You will learn how to break free from invisible cognitive scripts, how to harness the power of imperfection, and how to make smarter decisions when the path forward is unclear. Above all, Tiny Experiments offers not just practical tools, but a guide to reawakening curiosity and drive in a disaffected world, so that we can discover and pursue our most authentic ambitions.
