The Luck Factor

Do you want to be one of the lucky ones? Luck. We can’t see it or touch it, but we can feel it. Luck is a largely unexplored phenomenon, because many believe it to be uncontrollable. But what if luck could be influenced? What if it were possible to harness it to our own advantage? Taking us on a richly anecdotal ride through the popular theories and histories of luck — from pseudoscience to paganism, through mathematics to magic — Max Gunther arrives at a precise set of conclusions as to the nature of luck and the possibility of managing it. By drawing out the logical truths hidden in the examples of outrageous fortune he shares throughout this book, Gunther presents readers with ‘The Luck Factor’ — the five traits that lucky people have in common. He then shows you how you can use this approach to improve your luck and turn your fortune around. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to change their luck — for the better!
