If you think that some people are just born lucky, think again. Now, it is true that some people are exposed to more opportunity. The more exposure to opportunity, the more chances you have to turn it into luck. On the other hand, some people who are exposed to many more opportunities are not lucky because they do not take action. Others are exposed to a lot of opportunities, but they can't actually see the opportunity that is in front of them. Still another group of people do see the opportunity in front of them; they desperately would like to take action, but they are just not in a position in their life that allows them to grab it. Or at least that is what their mind is telling them. They feel they are lacking in the resources of, say, time or money to take action on opportunities. And then yet a whole other group of people does have the resources of time and money, but they refuse to act because of their fear. They are skeptical. It seems too good to be true or that good things like this just don't happen to them, so they choose to do nothing. In this book, we're going to address these patterns of behavior. Because the fact of the matter is, you already are lucky, you just aren't in touch with what you are capable of yet. When you reach the end of this book, you are going to have created a completely different idea about yourself and the luck you can create. You are going to feel empowered and lucky. We're going to go over the many different areas you can work on to increase your probability of luck. It's really pretty scientific. There are many ways to increase your luck. You are going to learn the exact formula to increase your luck. It's a no-fail system and it will work for you as it has worked for me and countless others.
From New York Times bestselling author and economics columnist Robert Frank, a compelling book that explains why the rich underestimate the importance of luck in their success, why that hurts everyone, and what we can do about it How important is luck in economic success? No question more reliably divides conservatives from liberals. As conservatives correctly observe, people who amass great fortunes are almost always talented and hardworking. But liberals are also correct to note that countless others have those same qualities yet never earn much. In recent years, social scientists have discovered that chance plays a much larger role in important life outcomes than most people imagine. In Success and Luck, bestselling author and New York Times economics columnist Robert Frank explores the surprising implications of those findings to show why the rich underestimate the importance of luck in success—and why that hurts everyone, even the wealthy. Frank describes how, in a world increasingly dominated by winner-take-all markets, chance opportunities and trivial initial advantages often translate into much larger ones—and enormous income differences—over time; how false beliefs about luck persist, despite compelling evidence against them; and how myths about personal success and luck shape individual and political choices in harmful ways. But, Frank argues, we could decrease the inequality driven by sheer luck by adopting simple, unintrusive policies that would free up trillions of dollars each year—more than enough to fix our crumbling infrastructure, expand healthcare coverage, fight global warming, and reduce poverty, all without requiring painful sacrifices from anyone. If this sounds implausible, you'll be surprised to discover that the solution requires only a few, noncontroversial steps. Compellingly readable, Success and Luck shows how a more accurate understanding of the role of chance in life could lead to better, richer, and fairer economies and societies.

When we project the idea on the positive plane of the world, we create a positive energy with a certain frequency and release it to the universe to propagate and eventually it will reflect back a positive energy of an equal amount and same frequency. We will have a positive sequence of thoughts, actions and then finally destinations. When we hold the negative energy and choose not to release it, then it will transform into positive energy. This will create a positive attitude and character of us. However, the opposite is exactly true. When we choose to project and interpret an idea on the negative plane of the world, we create a negative energy to the universe and certainly the reflection will be from the same nature on the quantity and frequency. We will be dragged into negative actions, and then it means that we have chosen undesirable destination. Furthermore, the matter will amplify more according to the law of attraction, as positive energies and reflections will attract more and more and you will have a whole lot of positive results. On the contrary, if we decide to have a negative way of thinking then it means we have chosen to receive more and more negative results and bad outcomes.
Written in an accessible style, "Lucky You!" examines the qualities and actions that set the charmed apart, such as: how hunches can be understood and acted upon; the winning strategies of gamblers; linking subconscious desires with positive outcomes; different kinds of luck--health, safety, business, investment, relationships, love, gambling; how sixth sense abilities can have an influence.
