Getting lucky 🍀

How can you create more luck in your life?

February 10, 2025

A key theme in Thinking, Fast and Slow is that luck plays a major role in success—often more than we like to admit. 

While we can’t control luck, you can stack the odds in your favor by increasing your exposure to the right kinds of risks and opportunities.

Luck tends to favor:

  • ✨Those who take more shots: The more opportunities you pursue, the more chances luck has to find you.

  • ✨Those who recognize patterns: Luck isn’t always obvious. When you can spot when success is luck vs. skill, you make smarter decisions.

  • ✨Those who minimize risk: If you prepare for setbacks, luck feels more like an opportunity than a gamble.
