Description

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.

TOPICS DISCUSSED

• The illusion of clarity and the Google / ChatGPT effect
• Designing a tiny experiment using the PACT method
• Why goals and habits often fail — and what to try instead
• Anne-Laure's pivot from Google to neuroscience
• Response one vs. response two: meeting uncertainty with curiosity
• The brain as a prediction machine
• A simple question to leave you with
