Publisher's Summary

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.

enjoyed it

The narration was pretty good, I enjoyed the overall story. I did find that the author reiterated the concepts many times over and used and used certain words excessively but I would still recommend this audio to friends.

Phenomenal

It offered solutions on how to increase luck in your life. It echoed things you may already know; taking ownership for your problems, looking for opportunities rather than complaints, not dwelling on the negative, having and maintaining a positive outlook, keeping calm and much more.

The best part it was backed by statistical data showing the differences in the lives of people who considered themselves “lucky” and “unlucky” and see the commonality between the “lucks”.

If you’re looking to increase the luck in your life in a; proven and scientific way- look no further than this book.

Good. Interesting angle...

Interesting angle on the power of positive thinking/manifesting your dreams that results in "better luck". Nothing mind-blowing here but still. worth the time to listen.

Indightful

I really enjoyed this lucky book, and found all of the material to be meaningful. The author’s arguments were creditable and were well supported by academic research. Loved the speed and voice.

Interesting topic- will change your perspective

#Audible1 The stories are great, and the concept is well written and easy to grasp. The activities can be somewhat annoying if you are listening to it while you are driving and can't actually do them.

Lucky

#Audible1 Really enjoyed the audio book. I must admit I was already aligned with the concepts impacting one's luck by being extroverted, relaxed, open, friendly to strangers and willingness to act on opportunities. Funny enough I was at a festival that had a local library booth and we discussed the Luck Factor, I entered the free contest and received a call from the librarian I was talking to that I had won a book prize from the contest.
