Welcome to RBC Oxford's, January event, where we'll be diving into the theme of Goals, through Anne-Laure Le Cunff's Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World.
We're told productivity is all about single-minded focus, hard grind and big goals. Deviating from the linear path means failure. The problem: it's not true. In this transformative book, neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals the easier, proven method to achieve our ambitions: an experimental mindset. Ditching out-dated notions of chasing success, she demonstrates the joyful power of 'tiny experiments' in which goals are discovered, pursued and adapted on your own terms.
Why we chose it: “I loved this profound, practical and generous book... Le Cunff shows how we can jettison arduous and dispiriting attempts at self-improvement in favour of achievable and energising adventures” - Oliver Burkeman
Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing.
