Lucky Finds
These pieces extend and parody the dynamic artistic productions of high modernism that began with Stéphane Mallarmé's Un coup de dés (A Throw of the Dice), continued with the works of the Italian and Russian Futurists, and reached their apogee in Ezra Pound's Cantos (with their graphic ideograms), Wallace Stevens's Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction, Louis Zukofsky's A, and Charles Olson's Maximus Poems.
Lucky Enough
When my daughter started fourth grade, it was Addison's fourth school in five years. It wasn't how we planned it, but as someone who moved around a lot as a kid, I knew this school year was going to be tough. Every morning, I wrote my daughter a note about life, school, or growing up, and I'd slip it in her bookbag or her lunch box to find later in the day. I shared the notes on Twitter and Facebook using #DadLunchNotes. Before I knew it, the notes became something others were seeking each day, including Addison's teacher and principal. While I knew others enjoyed the daily life lessons I penned in Sharpie, I wanted to stay true to my intended purpose-being there for my daughter and helping guide her through this difficult school year.
The Science of Being Lucky
Practical, real-life methods to become the luckiest person you know, with no lucky charms or rituals needed to beat the odds. Luck—we’re not sure what it is, but we know we want it on our side. Is luck a cosmic force that we can randomly stumble upon, or is there something real that people we consider lucky have discovered? The Science of Being Lucky is an in-depth look at what all lucky people have in common and how they set themselves up for success time after time. Put success into your own hands, not fate’s. The Science of Being Lucky takes you on a science-based journey into what luck is, what we think it is, and how to get more of it in your life. The journey begins by breaking down and defining the lucky breaks, coincidences, and serendipitous events in our lives—then delves into the specific traits, life factors, and perspectives that create lucky outcomes. This book will open your eyes to what is behind each moment you would call lucky and give you a concrete action plan to create more of the same. Luck doesn’t have to be just fantasy. Here’s what’s inside to make you immune to bad luck: • Popular methods for luck—do they work? (Some do, some do not) • Avoiding bad luck internally and externally • Three traits that practically manufacture luck • Max Gunther’s famous “strategic luck planning” approach to life
