Description

In a world fixated on control, countless voices tell us to seize the reins of life. Leadership trainings, productivity apps, and life hacks often focus exclusively on personal agency and choice. While messages like these can be helpful, they often leave out the science behind the most influential aspect of our lives: luck. In Luck by Design: The Science and Serendipity of a Well-Lived Life, Adam Tank, an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker, and consultant, explores the hidden potential of life's seemingly arbitrary circumstances. Through a masterful blend of natural science, social psychology, and compelling storytelling, Tank illuminates the power of embracing serendipity in every facet of our lives-from careers and relationships to education and personal growth. Tank's exploration of the science of chance reveals how the apparently random occurrences in our lives mirror the fundamental processes of nature. These chance events are not mere anomalies but integral components woven into the fabric of the universe. In fact, the tiny chance moments that shape our lives echo the very forces that sparked the original life on Earth. Where most self-help authors emphasize agency, Tank focuses instead on the scientific argument for relinquishing control over life's course. Luck by Design asks readers how leaning into random chance could paradoxically result in richer, more purposeful lives.
