The wait is over... Tiny Experiments is officially out in the world!! Feeling a mix of excitement, gratitude & the inevitable anxiety that comes with sharing work you truly care about. I believe this approach can change lives and I can’t wait to see how you make it your own.

Dopamine does not give us pleasure, but motivates us to seek it—a double-edged sword driving achievement as well as instant gratification. That can be hard to navigate. @neuranne explains how we can redirect our reward system to meaningful activity: buff.ly/NVJAKif

All my childhood, I had been called fickle-minded, as if it was a bad thing. I was compared to the kids who were one-track minded and excelling at it. I tried to keep up with them, only to develop massive inferiority complex that went on to affect my social relationships for a long time. Parents and senior professionals would tell me to figure out my life by 30 because there is a "right" time to do things. I started looking for "my purpose" in life and that made me even more miserable. And then I read @neuranne's book - Tiny Experiments. Someone who has a non-linear career and share their story was refreshing and reaffirming for me that non-linear careers are okay. It was also the reason why I started Just Build It with @sonakshinathak. We both made career transitions and the core value is to help people dream, build and ship. And find belonging through shared struggle. Yesterday, I had the chance to meet the person who had such a profound impact in my life. Thank you Anne-Laure! 🫶

Resonated a ton with @neuranne's book, Tiny Experiments. I've read and re-read already over the past month lol. Lots to absorb and reflect on when it's such a different approach than what I've been doing.
Had a weird dream on the plane & spent the entire trip back from Nashville to London prototyping a self-discovery card game. It’s already at the printer. Reminder that creative sparks rarely wait for ‘work hours’ & sometimes the trick is to build before you overthink!

You’re not lost. Here’s where you are. My conversation with Dr. Anne-Laure Le Cunff @neuranne, neuroscientist and founder of @ness_labs, explores how to navigate uncertainty. Treat your work and life like a laboratory -and run experiments. Anne-Laure says this approach is a way of moving through uncertainty with curiosity instead of control. One of the most interesting ideas we talk about is liminality. Liminality comes from the Latin limen, meaning “threshold.” It’s the space between identities or directions after you’ve left one shore, but before you’ve reached the next. You’re not lost; you’re in a passage. Listen as we dive into how to build an experimental practice and mindset that turns confusion into data and uncertainty into discovery. Highlights: - What if uncertain moments are the most meaningful? - The invisible “scripts” quietly running your decisions - Rushing to “figure it out” might be costing you - How to turn fear of the unknown into curiosity about what’s possible - The neuroscience behind smaller risk payoffs - Why chasing legacy keeps you from impact right now - How to slow time without quitting your schedule - An overlooked social hack - What happens when you study your life like a scientist larryweeks.com/when-goals-fa…

Thank you so much for writing this, @neuranne: nesslabs.com/cognitive-multi… As a polyglot+ systems thinker, I 100% agree. I feel like there's a Plato's cave challenge here though- in a world that prizes specialization, cognitive multiculturalism gets equated with being a generalist.

Just completed reading "Tiny Experiments" by @neuranne . What a great book. Had already run a pact for 15 days. More to explore, more to experiment. Truly refined my perspective on goals and passion and building personal projects. Starting a new pact to work on a gamified rust learning platform for the next 15 days.

Tiny Experiments by @neuranne has been a very nice read so far. IMO intentional lifestyle intuitively gets you to the conclusions stated in the book but it is always nice to read the science behind it.
