Über diesen Titel

What if being lucky was a skill that you could master and share with other people?

Modern life can feel like an endless sequence of cancelled plans, last-minute meetings and delayed journeys. So how can we use unpredictability to our advantage? LSE and NYU academic Dr Christian Busch has spent a decade exploring how, if acted upon, unexpected encounters can enhance our worldview, expand our social circles and create new professional opportunities. In this book, he reveals the secrets behind the hidden force that rules the universe: serendipity.

From social mobility in Sub-Saharan Africa to accidental energy-saving multinationals in the West, he has studied hundreds of subjects internationally who improved their lives by learning to see opportunities in the unexpected. We meet people from all backgrounds, from couples who first interacted during chance encounters to businesspeople who invented multi-million ideas after a best-laid plan misfired, learning the fundamental common denominators among lucky people.

The Serendipity Mindset is a revolutionary exploration of a well-researched and essential life skill that we can all develop in a few simple steps. By learning to identify, act on and share it, we can use uncertainty as a pathway to more joyful, purposeful and successful lives.

Kritikerstimmen

To fully leverage the discoverability and connectivity that today's mobile networked world enables, you must hone your ability to connect the dots of chance encounters and seemingly random information in creative and productive ways. This book can help you do that - highly recommended!
Christian Busch shows us that understanding how serendipity works can change the way we work and live. Drawing from both cutting-edge science and real-world examples, The Serendipity Mindset is a wise, exciting and life-changing book
More than just a way to create exciting opportunities, it's the foundation for a more optimistic and meaningful life. An important book for a complicated world
Christian Busch reveals that luck isn't always dumb. People who can see what others don't - who are awake to the high probability of the improbable - can achieve and contribute in ways their more blinkered colleagues cannot. A bracing and hopeful antidote to a world addicted to efficiency and control
How to create the opportunities for a successful and fulfilling life? Christian Busch shows convincingly that it's more than blind luck in The Serendipity Mindset, which offers excellent practical guidance for all
The book has changed my life for the better. During idle moments in which I might previously have second-guessed myself, I am now determined to say something kind, to thank someone, to make a connection

I have read the book and it is also interesting to hear, the speaker has a very pleasant voice. It puts me back in a positive, expectant mood. Who knows what wonderful things will happen to me when I am more open-minded towards my fellow men. I am looking forward to that. I can recommend it to everyone to get involved.

Highly recommended, a pleasant voice

I just finished the audible version of Serendipity Mindset and would like to share my personal experience:

I think, it attracted me because I probably have a strong serendipity mindset and I occasionally thought about this attribute, without knowing it's an ability. It excited me that the author has connected plenty of dots in this book, which I had or would have connected too. What the author did was to precisely articulate those patterns and bring it together in this book. The way of creating luck in this book is definitely not magic, however a combination of attention, openness and putting things into action.

Besides I felt confirmed in being good at connecting the dots, the book also inspired me in a different way. It made me reflect on my "foms" (fear of missing serendipity) and that creating too many opportunities can make them look ordinary and hold the excitement back from acting on them, eventually not feeling lucky anymore. On the other hand, it's not always up to ourselves; sometimes others have to connect the dots for us. In this case, it could also depend, on wether or not the society or culture we're living in has a higher level of serendipity mindset.

I'm curious about the new chapter (about turning crisis into opportunity) and am looking forward to getting the revised paperback version, coming out in January '22.

Inspiring read!
