With a highly regarded track record in the field of positive thinking, learning and performance improvement, Douglas Miller is the author of seven books and a successful motivational speaker and trainer working across Europe and Central Asia for key clients including The United Nations and The Central European Bank.
There are two kinds of ‘luck’ – the ‘luck’ that happens when things are completely outside your control and the ‘luck’ that happens as a result of spotting opportunities and your own positive actions. However, it’s always you and the way you think and act that determines how ‘lucky’ you are.
It’s all about how we analyse the events in our lives, how we respond to them, and how pre-emptive and pro-active thinking can create the kind of life experiences we want.
Using an easy-to-read, non-academic writing style and featuring interviews with top performers in the world of sport, music and business, speaker and writer Douglas Miller presents 20 key ‘Luck Factors’ – patterns of thinking and behaviour – which you can apply in all aspects of your life.

You could be so lucky
Some people are really lucky. They always get the best of what life has to offer, which doesn’t seem very fair. Until you realise that their luck hasn’t just appeared by accident.
These 'lucky' people don’t wait for things to happen to them. They are active participants in life, taking very specific actions to achieve what they want. Over time these actions become ingrained habits - helping the lucky make sure that their good luck sticks.
The good news is that it’s never too late to learn the secrets of being lucky. This clever book distils The Luck Habit into 20 ‘Luck Factors’ which reveal what it takes to be lucky and how you can learn to harness it for yourself.
