The Luck Factor

The Scientific Study of the Lucky Mind

By: Richard Wiseman

Narrated by: Peter Noble

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.

Awesome book!

Loved it! This book is easy to listen, understand and use in your life. I recommended this book to some of my friends and they loved it.

Very educating

Beyond proof luck is a controllable factor in your life. Not only that provides support to change your luck. Life changing advice in here.

It's a magical journey into defining luck

confirmations of what we already know to be true. being aware of them increases the chances that we will see the opportunities when they pop out of no where and get lucky.

Personality traits of "lucky" people

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.
Exercises for those wanting to improve their own "luck".

changed perspective

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.
