The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman

The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman

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 book 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.

Richard Wiseman has gained an international reputation for research into diverse areas of psychology, including deception, success, and luck. He was described by one Scientific American columnist as one of the most innovative experimental psychologists in the world today. Wiseman's previous books, including 59 Seconds, The Luck Factor, and Quirkology, have sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. He has presented keynote addresses to the Swiss Economic Forum, Google, and elsewhere, and his YouTube videos have been viewed more than 500 million times. His work has made the front page of The Guardian, New Scientist, and The New Yorker. Wiseman holds Britain's only professorship in the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. He lives in London.
