"Men of action are favored by the goddess of good luck."
– Richest Man in Babylon
"Lucky people are far more satisfied with all areas of their lives than unlucky or neutral people"
"There are three ways in which lucky people's extroversion significantly increases the likelihood of their having a lucky chance encounter":
1. meeting a large number of people
2. being a 'social magnet' and
3. keeping in contact with people.
Lucky people, for example, smile twice as often and engage in more eye contact than unlucky people do, which leads to more social encounters, which generates more opportunities.
The lucky ones were half as anxious as the unlucky ones -- that is, "because lucky people tend to be more relaxed than most, they are more likely to notice chance opportunities, even when they are not expecting them."
Lucky people also score significantly higher in openness than unlucky people do.
"Lucky people are open to new experiences in their lives... They don't tend to be bound by convention and they like the notion of unpredictability," he notes.
As such, lucky people travel more, encounter novel prospects and welcome unique opportunities.
Expectation also plays a role in luck. Lucky people expect good things to happen, and when they do they embrace them. But even in the face of adversity, lucky people turn bad breaks into good fortune.
