There is a lot of interesting information being passed in this article about this fascinating study. I feel like I qualify as a generally unlucky person. I also qualify as a tense person. I’m the proverbial cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
I’m going to look for Richard Wiseman’s book, The Luck Factor to delve deeper into this concept.
The idea that the introduction of chaos into a routine enhances the chance for good luck. That seems antithetical to basic thermodynamics – the more chaos, the more things fall apart. There is a lot to think about here.
