Career: “It’s okay to not have a career goal”
London neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff researches the path to success and greater productivity. Instead of setting big goals, she recommends a different strategy.
A neuroscientist has written a book about success, arguing that there is no single recipe for achieving it. However, research in neuroscience shows that experimenting and learning from trial and error can increase one's chances of success. The scientist explains that the brain learns through a "perception-action cycle", where it takes in information, makes predictions, and adjusts based on the outcome.
She advocates for an experimental approach to goal-setting, rather than following a linear plan or relying on generic advice such as "follow your passion".
