10 things the book will teach you

Tiny Experiments Banner
Tiny dots on the book cover

It’s time to 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.


Tiny Experiments offers not just practical tools to make sure your most vital work gets done, but a guide to reawakening your curiosity and drive in a noisy, busy, disaffected world, so that you can discover and pursue your most authentic ambitions while making a meaningful contribution.

“Tiny Experiments is one of the first books I’ve read that goes far beyond critiquing the flaws with the modern default path of work. Instead of repeating tropes on the rat race and corporate world, she goes deeper, daring us to imagine a more expansive form of ambition—one not built on what might impress others, but what will help us build a life worth living.”
