Book review: ‘Tiny experiments’ by Anne-Laure Le Cunff

I bought this book partly on the strength of a number of rave reviews, including this YouTube video by someone I follow online whose opinions in related topics I respect. I also bought it because of its title: the idea of performing tiny experiments in your work and personal life appealed to me. It still does.

But this book wasn’t for me. It’s written well enough, but, as with most of the small number of productivity books I’ve read, I couldn’t help thinking there was an awful lot of padding in there, and the book’s key messages could easily have been summarised on one side of an index card. There were far too many anecdotes and not enough detailed discussion of the practicalities of performing the suggested tiny experiments.

But, as I say, the book has received rave reviews, so knock yourself out.
