Ep. 116 | Why Lucky People Aren't Just Born That Way (The Science of Believing You're Lucky)
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
In today's episode, I'm telling you about Grandma Bev — who just turned 100, sharp as a tack, the woman who opened her doors to my mom and me when we moved across the country — and the thing she said to me seven times over dinner that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. Richard Wiseman spent a decade studying hundreds of lucky and unlucky people and found something that stopped me cold: people are not born lucky. They become lucky by believing they are. Which means lucky is available to all of us — even after the hard things. Especially after the hard things. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life could you start practicing the belief that you are lucky? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
