One of the keys to reaching self-awareness is to fully understand the balance between luck and skill. For many years, I believed that the hardest workers received the best results, but this is far from the truth. Luck is completely outside of our control, but this book explains the research behind how we can cultivate higher probabilities of serendipity. I loved this book, but the last quarter of it was geared a little bit more towards business professionals than I personally cared for. Although a great book, I recommend Richard Wiseman's book over this one and The Serendipity Mindset as a follow-up.
