Synopsis

Do you know someone who just seems to have all the luck? What if science-backed evidence showed that luck is, in fact, something that we have more control over than we think?

A seemingly unscientific and perhaps unlikely subject for a neuroscientist, Nobuko Nakano challenges the idea that our luck is entirely out of our hands. 

From taking calculated risks to expanding our social networks and even waking up early, Nakano uncovers the mindset and patterns of behaviour that are conducive to becoming a lucky person, giving us pointers for cultivating a ‘lucky brain’ helping you lead a happy life and be a lucky person.
