A transformative guide to rethinking our approach to goals, creativity, and life itself from a neuroscientist and entrepreneur, and the creator of the popular Ness Labs newsletter
“I loved this profound, practical, and generous book.”—Oliver Burkeman
“A thought-provoking guide to doing more trials and making fewer errors.”—Adam Grant
“One of the best productivity books that I’ve read.”—Ryder Carroll
“This book will change the way you design your goals and live your life.”—Nir Eyal
Life isn’t linear, and yet we constantly try to mold it around linear goals: four-year college degrees, ten-year career plans, thirty-year mortgages. What if instead we approached life as a giant playground for experimentation? Based on ancestral philosophy and the latest scientific research, Tiny Experiments provides a desperately needed reframing: Uncertainty can be a state of expanded possibility and a space for metamorphosis.
Neuroscientist 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. Readers will replace the old linear model of success with a circular model of growth in which goals are discovered, pursued, and adapted—not in a vacuum, but in conversation with the larger world.
Throughout the book, you will ask hard questions and design simple yet meaningful experiments to find the answers. You will learn how to break free from the invisible cognitive scripts that shape your life, how to harness the power of imperfection, and how to make smarter decisions when the path forward is unclear.
This is a guide to:
• Discover your true ambitions through conducting tiny personal experiments
• Dismantle harmful beliefs about success that have kept you stuck
• Dare to make decisions true to your own aspirations
• Stop trying to find your purpose and start living instead
Tiny Experiments offers not just practical tools to make sure our most vital work gets done, but a guide to reawakening our curiosity and drive in a noisy, busy, disaffected world, so that we can discover and pursue our most authentic ambitions while making a meaningful contribution.

    I’ve been awaiting Tiny Experiments from the moment I first heard of it, months ago. Although I had the opportunity to read a Digital Review Copy, I didn’t get to finish it. However, I did get enough background to conduct a couple of tiny experiments on my own. One of them has made my life less stressful, the other has been utterly transformative for both my physical and mental health. I love her philosophy and premise that failing the experiments is impossible, because you are collecting data – being the scientist of your own life, as it were. The book also teaches you to evaluate your experiments based on specified (by you) time frames, as well as how to think about the results and determine your next steps. And even stopping is a next step. But it’s definitely not the only one. This will be my go-to book recommendation and gift for 2025. I’ve also purchased an Audible copy and will be trying to figure out how to connect it to the Kindle copy I intend to buy in the next couple of days. Also, if anyone wanted to gift me a spare copy to keep pristine on my shelf, I wouldn’t mind at all, because I plan to make this book my own, with highlights, underlining, and margin notes, as well as the occasional dog-eared page. Also, I haven’t made it far enough along in the book to see if she addresses this, but I have no trouble imaging the immense effect that Tiny Experiments could make when applied to work and personal relationships. Seriously, buy this book. Buy a couple more copies; you know you’ll have to buy some gift this year already; this way, you’ll have a couple on hand. And you’ll not only have a gift, you’ll have the basis for a great conversation.

    As a follower of Anne-Laure this past year, I find her genuine and humble curiosity within the her mastery of work inspiring. She does a great job making complex things very tangible to her audience. Some may criticize some of the simplicity of Tiny Experiments, but that’s the very value of her work, making the next step visible, practical, and therefore actually productive. If productivity is defined as “doing more” in your book, then this may not be the book for you, because the real value is simply defining and doing more of what matters and that’s what this will help you do. Allow Tiny Experiments to reframe your thoughts and experience the results for yourself.

  5. Kelly & Jonny Miller –

    After living my life trying to make grand leaps and do huge things, I realize that progress, success and real joy happens when things are broken down into smaller pieces. And also when we take off the pressure to KNOW by embracing an experimental mindset. Anne-Laure’s book is such a beautiful and fun reminder that tiny experiments can illuminate more about ourselves and what truly matters than any big, lofty goal. Her writing style feels like a smart, amazing friend sharing their wisdom over a cup of coffee. There is so much joy and empowerment here. Highly recommend!

  6. Nick Milo –

    Anne-Laure upends the idea of success as a sequence of linear steps and replaces it with a wildly compelling thesis: life is a series of experiments and you are the lead scientist. The book provides a clear one-liner for designing a tiny experiment that I’ve already used to great effect in my own creative works. If you want to reawaken your curiosity and gain a healthy and holistic mindset towards your goals and intention, this is the book for you. Plus, I absolutely love the “Experimentalist Toolkit” in the appendix, it’s brilliant.
