Book of the Week with 2 Important Lessons:

The book of the week is Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World by Anne-Laure Le Cunff.

What a phenomenal read and it is among my favorite books I read in 2025. A transformative guide to rethinking our goals with an experimental mindset by committing to curiosity, practicing mindful productivity and collaborating with uncertainty.

In Tiny Experiments, neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals that all we need is an experimental mindset to turn challenges into self-discovery and doubt into opportunity. It offers not just practical tools for making sure our most vital work gets done but also strategies to reawaken our curiosity and drive in a noisy, busy, disaffected world so that we can discover and pursue our most authentic ambitions while making a meaningful contribution.

Here are two important lessons from the book:

1) Turn Doubts into Experiments:

Confidence is built through action. When in doubt, run a personal experiment using a pact. A pact is a simple and repeatable activity that will inevitably bring you closer to achieving your authentic ambitions, regardless of the actual result of each trial. It follows a simple format:

I will [action] for [duration].

Compared to linear goals, a pact fosters an experimental mindset. An attitude of openness and curiosity, a willingness to learn with a sense of receptiveness, and a lack of preconceived notions. When we play with problems, they become a sandbox where we can experiment and relinquish control over the outcome, just like a scientist who keeps a neutral stance when observing the results and taking notes to tweak future iterations.

Just like the protocol of a scientific experiment, a pact is based on instructions that are clear and contained. That’s why “I will learn how to code” is a flawed pact, but “I will code every day for hundred days” is a great one. Instead of “I will write a book,” try “I will write every weekday for the next six months.”

The format of the pact provides a simple mechanism to commit to action, a way to rely on momentum instead of motivation. What makes it so effective is that it focuses on your outputs rather than your outcomes. You just need to get started and trust that you will naturally build confidence through repetition.

2) Seek Fellow Explorers:

The world is not just changing; it’s becoming increasingly complex. Leverage the power of social flow by being an active participant in communities. While individual curiosity can produce incredible feats, our collective curiosity is the motor behind humanity’s biggest innovations.

Conversations feed our imagination, and collaboration enables us to dream bigger. In fact, we are wired to function at our best when tapping into shared knowledge and the support of a community. When we experience social flow, the energy of the group invigorate our own thinking and the shared focus sharpens our concentration. The group’s flow pulls us deeper into our process. Beyond the increased focus, gatherings produce a profound sense of fulfillment. It enhances not only the end result but the experience of getting there.

The journey to collective curiosity does not have to be overwhelming. Start with small steps that feel comfortable. Intentionally nurture your existing relationships. Contribute your skills and experiences to communities you already belong to. Move at your own pace, listen to your needs, and incrementally make the commitments that fits this season of your life. Before long, you will look around to see a tribe that fosters social flow and supports you, fellow curious minds who expands your horizons, amplify your impact, and provide a safety net, making you more resilient to change.

Books I am currently reading:

Rereading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. In this book, he outlines a practical philosophy and plan for a mindful, intentional use of technology that maximizes its benefits while minimizing its drain on our attention, focus and time. Demonstrating how to implement a 30 day digital detox, this book will help you identify which uses of technology are actually helping you reach your goals, and which are holding back.

The Lost Voice by Greta Morgan. A poignant, tenacious memoir by musician Greta Morgan chronicling how she rediscovered her artistic voice after losing her ability to sing. Questioning the purpose of creativity and what defines artistic passion, this memoir is a raw and intimate portrait of grief, self-discovery, and the choice to keep living and creating.
