"Janice Kaplan examines the phenomenon of luck and discovers the exciting ways you can boost your chances and set yourself up to get lucky in everyday life. After spending a year researching and experiencing gratitude for The Gratitude Diaries, she is back to tackle another big, mysterious influence in all our lives: luck. This time she's joined by coauthor Dr. Barnaby Marsh. They look at the factors that led a young struggling Harrison Ford to a chance encounter with fledgling director George Lucas, and they find out what distinguishes luck from pure randomness. They discover that much of what we call luck is really under our control, and they reveal the simple techniques to create luck in love and marriage, business and career, health, happiness, and family relationships. They offer insights on how all of us - from CEOs to stay-at-home moms - can tip the scales of fortune in our favor. Janice Kaplan is the former editor-in-chief of Parade magazine. Dr. Barnaby Marsh is an expert on risk taking. He conducts academic research at the Center for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard"--Provided by publisher.

Marsh, Barnaby.
