February 21st, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, Two weeks left until the book launch! Tickets are sold out for NYC and London, with a few still available for Austin. I’m on my way to Boston where I’ve been invited to record a podcast. This morning, as I was journaling before heading to the airport, an amazing realization hit me: whatever the outcome of the launch, I’m incredibly lucky to share these ideas with the world. I had to learn how to read and...

February 13th, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, This morning, I woke up to a familiar feeling I hadn’t felt so acutely in a while. “Oh, hello old friend,” I thought as I recognized the familiar pangs in my stomach – the ones that show up when I experience fear. Sometimes, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where fear is coming from, but in this case, I know exactly what’s going on: just three weeks to go until the launch of Tiny Experiments, my biggest...

February 6th, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, One week in Austin, and I’m already feeling calmer, more curious, and deeply connected to myself and those around me. It’s amazing how much our environment can influence not just how we feel but also how we think. I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between our surroundings and our curiosity – how environmental design can help us leverage our curiosity in meaningful ways. This week, we’ll explore...

Edition #258 – January 31st, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, I just made it to Austin, and spent two hours journaling on the plane. This week was filled with beautiful conversations and creative collaborations. Although I’m more comfortable with relatively spontaneous forms of creativity such as a newsletter, a more structured creative project such as a book offers a forcing mechanism to connect with others outside of your immediate circle. Tiny...

Edition #257 – January 23rd, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, I was stunned by the response to the Curiosity Collective last week. I’m still reading through all the applications – the stories of struggle and courage, the thoughtful questions about ambition, the universal desire for growth and change – and one thing is clear: people reading this newsletter already have the mind of a scientist. For you, just like for me, life is a giant experiment where you...

Edition #256 – January 16th, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, If the past year has taught me anything, it’s that collective curiosity is the driving force behind human progress. It’s what makes us learn from each other, connect the dots, and imagine better ideas. And we can all learn to become beacons of curiosity in our communities. That’s why I’m so excited to announce The Curiosity Collective, a free bonus coaching program exclusively for early...

Edition #255 – January 9th, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, One of the best parts of creating the Ness Labs community is learning from many smart people with diverse views on science, philosophy, education, relationships, and even the meaning of life. It’s intellectually stimulating and sometimes challenging to discuss ideas that clash with different belief systems, especially those that haven’t been extensively researched yet. Being the scientist of...

Edition #254 – January 3rd, 2025A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, Happy new year to you and happy birthday to me! I’m feeling tenderness toward my 15-year-old self who couldn’t have imagined we’d make it to 35, let alone that life could feel this good. To celebrate 35 trips around the sun, I shared 3.5 lessons for anyone younger feeling a bit lost or unsure about this big, beautiful and sometimes scary thing called life. Of course, the New Year is an...

Edition #253 – December 20th, 2024A newsletter by Anne-Laure Le Cunff READ ON THE WEB Hello friends, I can’t believe this is the final newsletter of 2024. In fact, it’s the last email I’ll send this year. I’m writing to you from Paris, where I’ll be spending the holidays with my family. I have a bittersweet relationship with this time of year. It often feels like a tug-of-war between the desire to make the most of the remaining weeks and the need to rest and recharge. One practice that has...
