What I Wish I Knew About Luck From Dr Tina Seelig

from Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut · host Arroe Collins

In “WHAT I WISH I KNEW ABOUT LUCK: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements” (HarperOne) - STANFORD UNIVERSITY professor and bestselling author: TINA SEELIG - dispels the myth - noting that what we call luck is really the deliberate actions of hard work. From being born into the “right” family to someone helping you with a flat tire – Dr. Seelig tells us that what most consider lucky is really fortune. Meantime, luck, has to do with the choices you make and the risks you take as opportunities arise. With accessible tips and bite-sized lessons, Seelig breaks down the necessary components you need to create your own lucky opportunities. As she shared in her popular TED Talk -  luck is like the wind, constantly blowing, often unpredictable, and always in motion. And 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.The book is filled with memorable examples, personal anecdotes, and behavioral science research. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
