Résumé
What if luck wasn't just a matter of superstition or chance, but a phenomenon intricately woven through the fabric of history, psychology, mathematics, and everyday life? "The Science of Luck: A Simple Guide to Big Ideas" offers a sweeping yet accessible exploration of what luck really means-from its cultural origins and mythologies, through the eye of probability and chaos, to the subtle psychological and societal forces that shape our perceptions of fortune.
Drawing on the latest research, the book unpacks centuries-old beliefs, untangles common misconceptions, and reveals how our understanding of luck has evolved over time, illuminating why some people-and societies-seem luckier than others. Each chapter of this engaging guide delves into the scientific, psychological, and social principles behind luck and randomness. Readers will learn how probability and statistics demystify unexpected outcomes; why our brains are wired to spot patterns and believe in lucky breaks; and how genetics, environment, and sheer happenstance have shaped the natural world and human achievement alike.
From the role of luck in personal and professional success to its societal implications on privilege, opportunity, and inequality, "The Science of Luck" offers case studies and real-life stories that ground big ideas in practical, relatable terms, inviting critical reflection on our assumptions about control and destiny. Beyond merely decoding luck, the book provides actionable insights on how to recognize, seize, and even cultivate serendipitous opportunities.
It encourages readers to develop mindsets of curiosity, adaptability, and resilience-equipping them to navigate uncertainty, embrace unpredictability, and make the most of life's ever-present surprises. As technology, society, and the global landscape evolve, "The Science of Luck" concludes by asking: Can we design environments-at home, at work, in cities-where luck flourishes for all? This is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding and harnessing the invisible forces that shape our journeys.
