von Anne-Laure Le Cunff

A transformative guide to rethinking our approach to goals, creativity, and life itself from a neuroscientist and entrepreneur, and the creator of the popular Ness Labs newsletter "I loved this profound, practical, and generous book."—Oliver Burkeman "A thought-provoking guide to doing more trials and making fewer errors."—Adam Grant "One of the best productivity books that I've read."—Ryder Carroll "This book will change the way you design your goals and live your life."—Nir Eyal Life isn’t linear, and yet we constantly try to mold it around linear goals: four-year college degrees, ten-year career plans, thirty-year mortgages. What if instead we approached life as a giant playground for experimentation? Based on ancestral philosophy and the latest scientific research, Tiny Experiments provides a desperately needed reframing: Uncertainty can be a state of expanded possibility and a space for metamorphosis. Neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals that all you need is an experimental mindset to turn challenges into self-discovery and doubt into opportunity. Readers will replace the old linear model of success with a circular model of growth in which goals are discovered, pursued, and adapted—not in a vacuum, but in conversation with the larger world. Throughout the book, you will ask hard questions and design simple yet meaningful experiments to find the answers. You will learn how to break free from the invisible cognitive scripts that shape your life, how to harness the power of imperfection, and how to make smarter decisions when the path forward is unclear. This is a guide to: • Discover your true ambitions through conducting tiny personal experiments • Dismantle harmful beliefs about success that have kept you stuck • Dare to make decisions true to your own aspirations • Stop trying to find your purpose and start living instead Tiny Experiments offers not just practical tools to make sure our most vital work gets done, but a guide to reawakening 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.

von Daniel Coyle

The traditional view is that talent is innate - you've either got it or you haven't. But in The Talent Code, award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle reveals that the reality is very different. Drawing on the latest findings of scientists and educationalists, and looking at disciplines ranging from maths to music, he shows how the brain can be physically rewired and developed by training to create a 'talent code'. He identifies how a particular type of trainin, 'deep practice', enhances the development of myelin in the brain. He explains why talent tends to cluster at particular times and in particular places (from Elizabethan drama to Brazilian football). These clusters disprove the theory that talent is random and God-given, and prove that the development of one talented individual often encourages others He demonstrates why some people make the leap while others don't (factors include whether someone who goes on to be talented suffered the early loss of a parent, and whether they are the oldest, middle or youngest child). He shows why some teaching methods work better than others (e.g. why did so many children in the US struggle to learn to read when new practices were introduced). This is a radical and controversial new take on human ability and the nature of genius.

'In a world beset by burnout, Greg McKeown's work is essential' -- Daniel H. Pink 'Effortless shows that achieving more doesn't have to be as hard as we make it out to be' -- Arianna Huffington NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Times (UK) Best Book of the Year From the author of the million-copy-selling Essentialism comes an empowering guide to achieving your goals. It all starts with a simple principle- Not everything has to be so hard. The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical tools for making the most essential activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want, without burning out. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include- Turning tedious tasks into enjoyable rituals Preventing frustration by solving problems before they arise Setting a sustainable pace instead of powering through Making one-time choices that eliminate many future decisions Making relationships easier to maintain and manage And much more McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to recognise that the effortless way isn't the lazy way. It's the smart way. Not every hard thing in life can be made easy but we can make it easier to do more of what matters most. Effortless will show you how.

von Jim Collins

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing--and reconstructing--a life through the turning points we all will face repeatedly in our lives. What to make of a life? It is a question we all wrestle with more than once: How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs we will inevitably encounter? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late? Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analyzing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog. His exploration follows various lives at key turning points--moments when certainty turned to uncertainty, when new challenges presented themselves--and analyzes the different choices made and divergent paths taken. Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success. Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives. Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and so left with the puzzle of what to do next. Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end. What emerges from Collins's paired studies--of writers, actors, scientists, leaders and many others--is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained and constantly renewed. By examining these remarkable lives side by side, Collins tackles life's questions with profound and practical insight. What does it take to: Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life--one that you are naturally 'encoded' for--and then to find a second one, if the first one ends? Overcome a 'cliff' event--a moment when life as you've known it has radically changed? Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on one big thing that feeds your inner fire? Navigate the fog of uncertainty and build confidence step by step? Minimize the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck? Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime? And for the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other, convincingly showing how a richly fulfilled life is within reach of us all.
