Over dit e-boek

Luck can be defined as any external force, event or circumstances over which an individual has no control yet it affects you (positively or negatively). Luck, fate and destiny are more or less the same thing. Sometimes luck can show tremendous generosity and sometimes it can be extremely cruel. It can
also come in a variety of forms. Some of its forms are clearly visible while many are not. The power of luck can often be way bigger than things such as hard work, talent, intelligence, money, technology and even the government.
This book presents real world events supported by compelling evidence to show the invisible yet the extremely powerful hand of luck. As you read this book you will see how luck can affect outcomes of Mongol wars from 12th century to crashes of modern high-tech commercial aircraft. Good luck has been responsible for preventing accidental detonation of American nuclear bombs and saving the lives of Soviet cosmonauts from guaranteed death. Luck plays a vital role in rise and fall of countries, empires, corporations and men in ways which are often complicated and not fully understood.
At a personal level too, luck can play a big and somewhat hidden role in determining the socio-economic type of family a person is born into, getting compatible marriage partner and having good children.
During critical situations luck can either save your life or get you killed. Extremely good luck can even make a person extremely wealthy without doing anything at all.
