How to Get Lucky : 13 Techniques for Discovering and Taking Advantage of Life's Good Breaks

Max Gunther's lost classic brought back into print.

Most people imagine that you're born lucky or you get lucky.

Max Gunther shows you how you get lucky. The fact is that some people really are luckier than others and not by accident.

Lucky people arrange their lives in characteristic patterns.

They tend to position themselves in the path of onrushing luck; they tend to go where events are moving fastest and where they can find their lucky break.

Lucky people take risks but not silly ones. They stick with a cause, a job, or a partner, but not when all hope is lost.

In short, they move with life, not against it. This book gives you thirteen different techniques by which you can discover and take advantage of life's good breaks, while minimising the effects of its bad ones.
