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?
