The BBC explains how a loser can get lucky. Professor Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire has been studying luck and says he’s found a way to make 80% of people more happy, more satisfied and more lucky. His four top tips for becoming lucky are:
1. Listen to your gut instincts – they are normally right.
2. Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine.
3. Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.
4. Visualise yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call. Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy.
