Rebel Book Club Vancouver x GOALS

Welcome to the RBC Vancouver event, where we'll be diving into the theme of Goals, through Anne-Laure Le Cunff's Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World.

More about Tiny Experiments

We're told productivity is all about single-minded focus, hard grind and big goals. Deviating from the linear path means failure. The problem: it's not true. In this transformative book, neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals the easier, proven method to achieve our ambitions: an experimental mindset. Ditching out-dated notions of chasing success, she demonstrates the joyful power of 'tiny experiments' in which goals are discovered, pursued and adapted on your own terms.

Why we chose it: “I loved this profound, practical and generous book... Le Cunff shows how we can jettison arduous and dispiriting attempts at self-improvement in favour of achievable and energising adventures” - Oliver Burkeman

Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.

Paige joined Rebel Book Club in London in July 2018. She loves how RBC encourages her to explore new subjects and perspectives she might not have discovered otherwise.

After moving across the pond and missing the events and connections she made with fellow RBC'ers, she wanted to recreate that experience in vibrant Vancouver.
