The Serendipity Mindset: The Art and Science of Creating Good Luck

When NYU professor Christian Bush was 18, he miraculously survived and unharmed in a car accident. Since then, he has found more and more evidence that accidents and unforeseen events affect our lives more than is commonly believed. A spontaneous meeting in a cafe can lead to a long-term business partnership, a forgotten wallet can be saved from an accident, and an unintentional mistake in an experiment can lead to a new invention. This book is about serendipity - the ability to find unusual solutions, cultivate happy coincidences, and achieve good luck in everything from small everyday occurrences to world-changing discoveries. Christian Busch explains that chance can be turned into a tool. Based on his own example and many years of experience with lucky people from different fields, the author shows how to develop serendipity thinking, increase the likelihood of happy accidents and make luck your constant ally.
