It is available to anyone willing to pay attention to the Four Essential Principles: . Creating Chance Opportunities . Thinking Lucky . Feeling Lucky . Denying Fate Readers can determine their capacity for luck as well as learn to change their luck through helpful exercises that appear throughout the book. Illustrated with anecdotes from the lives of the famous such as Harry Truman and Warren Buffett, The Luck Factor also richly portrays the lives of ordinary people who have been extraordinarily lucky or unlucky.

First of all, I'm pretty proud of myself for bailing. Sunk Cost fallacy and all that. Also, when the author instructed me to interrogate my intuition by "visiting the old man in the cave" I was all "Why does it got to be an old man? How about a wise dog? " It was just a little too goofy for me, "science" notwithstanding.

Sweettartlaura 😂😂😂. Why DOES it have to be an old man??? 7y
respekt1111 @Sweettartlaura Yeah, if he's so smart, why is he stuck in a cave in the side of a cliff? How's he going to get out? 7y
Sweettartlaura Yeah! Why isn't he near a stream? He's gonna need water sooner or later. 7y
