How Luck Happens by Janice Kaplan and Barnaby Marsh



Luck often sounds mystical. To engineering minds it feels un-scientific. How Luck happens by Janice Kaplan and Barnaby Marsh breaks these and many other myths. The authors delve into great detail on the factors impacting luck and how to increase one's odds. They point out that the keys to changing one's luck is to reduce the risk factors as well as trying to do the best until one is surprised by the outcome. Contrary to popular opinion they argue that it is not necessarily true that more risk equals more luck.  The authors rightfully point out about how many people will argue about successful people being at the right place and at the right time but they often forget all the necessary steps that were taken and the hardships undertaken along the way. They pitch for putting an innovative mindset and looking beyond what exists. If you want to change your destiny today and want to do it in a scientific way, this book is a must read!
