Practical, real life methods to become the luckiest person you know with – no lucky charms or rituals needed to beat the odds.
Luck – we’re not sure what it is, but we know we want it on our side.

The Science of Being Lucky is an in-depth look at what all lucky people have in common and how they set themselves up for success time after time.

The Science of Being Lucky will open your eyes to what is behind each moment you would call lucky and give you a concrete action plan to create more of the same. Luck doesn’t have to be just fantasy.
