Good advice for attracting good luck
The author demonstrates how good luck is a matter of personality. Factors like a healthy self-image and certain other attributes can change a negative and failure-prone personality to a positive one that admits no defeat and recognizes that good luck is not an accident. In reality, "good luck" means the attraction of favorable chances by a positive mind-set within. Personality factors that attract luck include a high energy level, generosity and a firmly held belief that one is lucky. Also, the will to attract luck, in the author's own words: "The extent to which we make ourselves luckier is likely to be directly proportional to the force of our will to be lucky. The will to be lucky is the crux of our internal development, the channel through which we can realize our full potentialities as lucky human beings." This is a pleasant read with valuable practical advice that will benefit the reader if applied to her/his life.

FANTASTIC!
I have had this book in my collection for some time before reading it. I read it a few weeks ago, and wow, I was moved. Although the author uses examples from both the 19th century as well as from past decades (mostly accounts of people I've never heard of) the information is still just as true as ever. The author writes much of the book in parable form, which leaves a deeper message than I could completely grasp upon one reading. I plan on referring to it again and again. Excellent reading.

Logical, concise and inspiring!!!
This is the best book to read in this so far. You will refer to this book periodically as I do!
