How to get LUCKY -Book




One of my friends suggested the book " How to get lucky," and i read it recently.

This classic book is written by Max Gunther 35 years back, and even today, the contents are relevant.
( It seems that the book cover is intently designed as classic😊)

We might have observed some people are lucky in life, and whatever they do, they make it successful. We may have an opinion that people are born lucky. Contrary to that thought process, the author explains with real examples that some people we perceive as lucky organize their lives in such a way that they can experience good luck and avoid bad luck. (The examples are from  western based personalities which we may find too challenging to relate)

The author identified 13 techniques by which we can organize ourselves to be lucky in what we do.

For example, the author narrates some of the techniques applied by lucky people. 

They try different things, and something clicks in a more significant way
they are good at networking, and some connections work in favor of them 
they do planning and be aware that luck plays a role
they do worst-case analysis
they do calculate risk  and proceed than being extreme care or too much risky
they are ready to cut the losses immediately when they find the venture not doing good
they always busy with some activities 


The author suggests picking a few techniques and stick on to them consistently.

I wish to read this book at a younger age, and i could relate the techniques with the people whom i admire most for their luck.

Recommend this book if you want more perspective on developing your personality to be luckier...

The highly priced hard copy of the book seems unavailable for sale immediately; however, it is available in PDF format on the net.

Enjoy reading it!

Have a great week ahead.
