Summary:
"Good luck isn't just chance, it can be learned and leveraged, and The Serendipity Mindset explains how to use serendipity to make life better at work, at home-everywhere.

Busch explores serendipity from a rational and scientific perspective and argues that there are identifiable approaches we can use to improve the conditions to let serendipity grow in our lives. The Serendipity Mindset offers a clear, engaging blueprint for how individuals, families, communities, and businesses can cultivate serendipity to increase innovation and influence. Drawing from the latest research in biology, chemistry, physics, management, and information systems, and using examples of people from all walks of life, Busch illustrates how serendipity works, in the process explaining how each of us can train our own serendipity muscle to use this powerful force in our own lives. Once we understand how serendipity works, Busch says, we become curators of it and luck is no longer something that just happens to us-it becomes a force that we can grasp, shape, and hone"--
