In Max Gunther's lost classic 'The Luck Factor', he dispelled the common myths surrounding luck- why some people are 'born lucky' and why others are perpetually 'down on their luck'. 'The Luck Factor' established that luck is not something people do or don't have, or something magical or spiritual that is out of their reach, but something tangible that people, if they want it enough, can go out and get.
Max Gunther's 'How To Get Lucky' takes the groundwork of 'The Luck Factor' and turns the model for luck into 13 techniques that can be used in our everyday lives to help us 'get lucky'.
These techniques include:
* Positioning yourself to be the beneficiary of luck through wide networks and associations
* Accepting that sometimes there are risks, but some level of risk puts you in a position to get lucky and win
* Cutting your losses to ensure you get even more lucky. You need to cut your losses and set yourself up for future gains before losing the shirt off your back!
