Why do some people lead happy, successful lives whilst others face repeated failure and sadness? Why do some find their perfect partners whilst others stagger from one broken relationship to the next? What enables some people to have successful careers whilst others find themselves trapped in jobs they detest? And can unlucky people do anything to improve their luck - and lives?

Ten years ago, Professor Richard Wiseman decided to search for the elusive luck factor by investigating the actual beliefs and experiences of lucky and unlucky people. The results reveal a radical new way of looking at luck.

In this audiobook Wiseman identifies the four simple behavioural techniques that have been scientifically proven to help you attract good fortune. He then shows how you can use these methods to revolutionise every area of your life - including your relationships, personal finances and career.

Not bad.
Self-described lucky people tend to be extraverted, optimistic, relaxed, observant, and determined to take as long as it takes to make their goals happen.
Pretty much the opposite of me.
I appreciate the references to scientific studies. Would have liked some for the chapter on intuition.

this book single handedly changed my perspective on luck. it challenged what i thought i knew, and explained everything. it give one or two examples to highlight the point without giving every example to prove the point. this is a great book.
