How To Succeed, Sanely—Without Toxic Productivity, Preconceived Notions, or Fear of Change | Anne-Laure Le Cunff

What does success look like? A neuroscientist wants you to question your cognitive scripts.

Anne-Laure Le Cunff conducts research into the neuroscience of learning and curiosity at King's College London, and also runs Ness Labs. She is the author of Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Her critique on our cultural obsession with "finding your purpose"
  • The value of knowing your "cognitive scripts"
  • Practical tools to live a more purposeful, curious, and fulfilled life
  • Her mini-protocol for experimentation (based on the scientific method)
  • Mindful productivity — and how it builds on moving us into an experimental mindset
  • Whether procrastination is actually the enemy? And tools to work with it.
  • The upside of making space for your imperfections
  • Tips for navigating uncertainty
  • Why you want to avoid having too many experiments at the same time
  • The main difference between a habit and an experiment
  • How to learn alongside with other people — and why this matters
  • Collective "flow" states
  • Tips for community building
  • And this question: is legacy important?
