Ever wonder why some people seem to effortlessly rise to success, while others struggle despite hard work and talent? "How Lucky Are You?" challenges everything you thought you knew about achievement, exposing the unseen forces that shape our lives: luck, timing, and circumstances beyond our control.

In this eye-opening exploration, we dismantle the myth of meritocracy and take a deep dive into the role of fortune in our personal and professional lives. From the lottery of birth to the pivotal moments that define our paths, this book uncovers how luck influences everything-career trajectories, opportunities, and even the stories we tell ourselves about hard work and perseverance.

Inside, you'll discover:

How historical and cultural narratives promote the false belief that success is purely earned. The psychological effects of luck and how it alters our perception of effort and achievement. Real-life examples, statistical insights, and industry-specific data that reveal the unpredictable factors in success stories. Strategies to embrace uncertainty, build resilience, and redefine what it means to "win" in life.

"How Lucky Are You?" is more than just a book-it's a call to reconsider our societal values, fostering empathy and understanding for those whose journeys are shaped by forces beyond their control. Whether you're looking to better understand your own life or challenge the traditional narratives of success, this book offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to succeed.
