Small experiments
Success on Your Own Terms: How to Find Balance Between Performance and Curiosity
Anne-Laure Le Cunff, a former Google manager, left her career path to rethink what it truly means to be successful – and now she invites you to adopt an experimental approach to life. One that is not driven by the pressure to perform, but by mindful curiosity.
This book from Melvil combines neuroscience, philosophy, and the author's personal story of going through a startup failure, a creative crisis, and burnout, which led her to develop a new way of thinking about personal growth. Anne-Laure introduces specific tools to help you better navigate uncertainty, rediscover the joy of learning, and cultivate a productivity that doesn't drain you, but empowers you.
Praise for the book:
“A groundbreaking exploration of how to apply the scientific method—the search for truth and validated answers through systematic experimentation—to the often messy, chaotic, and uncertain domain of career and life in the modern world.”
- Tiago Forte, author of Building a Second Brain
“I absolutely loved this profound yet deeply practical book.”
- Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
