Anne-Laure Le Cunff has spent years decoding how our minds actually work — and why modern life keeps breaking them.
A former Google strategist turned founder of Ness Labs, she left one of the world’s most intense environments to study neuroscience and re-imagine productivity through self-awareness and mental clarity.

In this conversation, we go beyond the buzzwords. We talk about why burnout is not a failure of willpower, how our obsession with optimization destroys focus, and the science of thinking slower to create more.
Anne-Laure reveals what she learned studying cognitive fatigue, the myth of the “lazy brain,” and how anyone can design a life that supports curiosity instead of exhaustion.

This episode isn’t about doing more — it’s about understanding yourself deeply enough to know what actually works.
