The bestselling author of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20's engaging and practical guide to how to become lucky, based on her classes at Stanford University and her popular TED talk.
Much of what we call luck is the result of deliberate actions and consistent efforts. As Tina Seelig shared in her popular TED Talk, luck is like the wind, constantly blowing, often unpredictable, and always in motion. To catch the winds of luck, you need to construct your sail by doing the internal work that sets the stage for success; recruit your crew by bringing others along; and hoist your sail by acting in ways that lead you closer to your goals. With these practical tools in hand, the winds of luck carry you toward the future you dream to live.
What I Wish I Knew About Luck is filled with memorable examples, personal anecdotes, and behavioral science research. You will learn:
- how to stay steady in turbulent waters
- how to sail past your limits
- how to see problems as opportunities
- how to build ladders to larger wins
- how to clear clutter on your path to success
- how to turn setbacks into stepping stones
- how luck is amplified over the course of a lifetime
As a professor at Stanford University, with expertise on leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation, Dr. Seelig teaches her students how to see and seize opportunities, especially those hidden in plain sight. Opportunities are everywhere, waiting to be discovered!
