AUTHOR: Peter Anthony TITLE: The loser's guide to getting lucky DATE: 7/04/2007 ----- BODY:
Professor Richard Wiseman is an English psychologist who wanted to learn more about luck so he placed ads in national newspapers asking for people to respond who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. He then learned more about these people in a variety of ways - interviews, studies and experiments. What he found were ways of thinking and behaving that were consistent with good fortune. 1. Lucky people are more relaxed and open to opportunities 2. Lucky people listen to their gut instincts 3. Lucky people spend time each day remembering things that went well 4. Lucky people visualise being lucky before an important event Have a look at Wiseman’s website http://www.richardwiseman.com/ for more about his work on luck.
