Description
In today’s episode, a Stanford neuroscientist is going to teach you exactly how to manifest the life you want – by becoming a luckier person. Dr. Tina Seelig has spent 25+ years at Stanford, where she also earned her PhD in the science of neuroplasticity, studying leadership, success, neuroscience, and luck. She's written 18 books, including her newest, What I Wish I Knew About Luck – and after this conversation, you will never see luck the same way again. In it, she breaks down something most people get completely wrong: You may believe that luck is something you have, or you don't. As Dr. Seelig will teach you today, there is a science to luck. And when you understand it, and start using it, you can create a life that feels a whole lot luckier. In this conversation, you’ll learn: -What research reveals about lucky people -The #1 mindset shift that separates lucky people from everyone else -The difference between fortune (what happens to you) and luck (what you create) -The 3-step framework to creating luck: build your sailboat, recruit your crew, hoist the sail -The 6 kinds of risk (and how your risk profile might be keeping you stuck) -Why asking for a “5-minute favor” can change your entire life -Simple ways to “stir the pot” this week so new opportunities can find you Dr. Seelig isn't ignoring reality. A lot of life right now doesn’t feel lucky. Everything is more expensive. Jobs are harder to get. Headlines are scary. Owning a home feels out of reach. That is real. And Dr. Seelig acknowledges all of it. And still she says this: There are practical, everyday things you can do - even when you feel stuck in the thick of it - that can change your luck and the direction of your life. If you’ve been telling yourself, “Nothing ever works out for me,” this episode is your wake-up call. If you follow the formula that Dr. Seelig is sharing with you today, there is no doubt that you will have a better and luckier life - because you will have created it.
