Stop Chasing Goals – Do THIS Instead

November 11, 2024 · 50 min

Show notes

Hey everyone! In this episode of This Anthro Life, I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Anne-Laure Le Cunff, neuroscientist, founder of Nest Labs, and author of Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World. We dive into why our approach to goals is broken, how procrastination might actually be trying to help us, and the surprising power of tiny experiments to transform your life. It’s a conversation packed with insights on rethinking success, embracing a cyclical mindset, and finding joy in the present.


We're back! After some time away, This Anthro Life returns with fresh episodes and engaging conversations. If you enjoy this episode, we’d love your support.
