You don’t need a 5 year plan. You need to experiment. Outlawbrary #4 | Tiny Experiments byAnne-Laure Le Cunff

What if you could learn how to stop chasing goals and instead start running tiny experiments? In this Outlawbrary episode, Shayla and Kate dive into Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World by Anne-Laure Le Cunff. It’s part science, part storytelling, and part permission slip to ditch the pressure of big, shiny goals in favour of curiosity-led experiments. Anne-Laure’s journey from Google to neuroscience brings a practical and deeply human perspective on how to live and work with more freedom. She reminds us that uncertainty isn’t failure, but fertile ground for discovery. From liminal spaces to cognitive scripts, from curiosity over passion to rewriting the “shoulds” that hold us back, this book (and this conversation) is a toolkit for anyone ready to stop chasing goals that don’t fit and start designing life on their own terms. In this episode – Why tiny experiments are more powerful than big goals – How curiosity can replace clarity when you don’t know your “purpose” – What neuroscience can teach us about uncertainty, fear, and growth – The role of pacts: simple, repeatable actions that move you closer to what matters – A Chinese parable that reframes failure, luck, and growth Resources & Links 📖 Book: Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World by Anne-Laure Le Cunff Talk by Anne-Laure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs2jR38lcWg  Book: Big Magic: Creative Living without fear; Elizabeth Gilbert 🎧 Find out more 🔗 Website: www.outlawspodcast.com 📩 Subscribe to our newsletter for updates, tools, and more Outlawbrary picks Connect with us Instagram: @the.outlaws.podcast - https://www.instagram.com/the.outlaws.podcast Facebook Group: Outlaws Podcast Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/the.outlaws.podcast LinkedIn: Outlaws Podcast - https://www.linkedin.com/company/106681587 Email: [email protected] Hosted and produced by Shayla Strapps and Kate Offer
