In this groundbreaking new scientific study of the phenomenon of luck, Dr. Richard Wiseman puts luck under a scientific microscope for the very first time, examining the different ways in which lucky and unlucky people behave. After three years of intensive interviews and experiments with over 400 volunteers, Wiseman arrived at an astonishing conclusion: Luck is something that can be learned.
