In this episode of A Productive Conversation, I sit down with Anne-Laure Le Cunff, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of Ness Labs, to discuss her new book Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World. Anne-Laure is known for blending science with practical strategies for thinking, learning, and working better—without burning out.

We explore how small, low-risk experiments can lead to big changes, why curiosity is a powerful productivity tool, and how to break free from rigid goal-setting. Anne-Laure also shares how she applies scientific thinking to everyday decision-making, along with strategies for balancing structure and flexibility in personal growth.

Key Discussion Points

How Tiny Experiments challenges traditional goal-setting and promotes flexible, curiosity-driven progress.
Why experimentation is a powerful approach to productivity, creativity, and decision-making.
How small, low-risk experiments can help overcome perfectionism and fear of failure.
The importance of intentional imperfection in balancing work, personal growth, and well-being.
How curiosity can serve as a guide for making meaningful progress.
Why journaling and self-reflection play a critical role in evaluating experiments.
How to create sustainable productivity habits that adapt over time.

This conversation is a great reminder that productivity isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about experimenting, learning, and growing in a way that works for you.
