A neuroscientist reveals the secrets of lucky people and their ability to attract success, love and good fortune.
Β
Lucky and unlucky people often encounter similar situations and setbacks in life. However, the way they view and think about these circumstances differs, as does the way they deal with them. So, what are the common lifestyle patterns, mindsets, and outlooks of lucky people?
Lucky People by Nobuko Nakano is a fascinating exploration into the concept of luck, underpinned by scientific insights. Nakano, a neuroscientist, argues that luck isn't random but can be cultivated through intentional actions. We can become lucky through our mindset and behaviour.
Certain behaviours attract luck, such as taking calculated risks, expanding social networks, and reframing setbacks. Our thoughts and actions shape how our brain processes information and affect how we interact with the world. If we believe in good outcomes, we are more likely to act in ways that will make them happen. This book offers a science-based self-help guide and provides an expert take on a subject that can initially seem irrational and unpredictable.
