Tiny Experiments: How to Learn, Grow, and Navigate Uncertainty

What if the goals running your life are getting in the way of your growth? Neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins Brad Hook to explore how curiosity, small experiments, and a willingness to be wrong can help us live and learn more deeply. Anne-Laure Le Cunff — founder of Ness Labs and author of Tiny Experiments — unpacks why we overestimate what we know, how AI tools may be quietly eroding our thinking, and why time-bound experiments work better than rigid goals. She also shares the wake-up call that pulled her out of Silicon Valley and into neuroscience.
