Good luck isn't merely a matter of chance; it can be learned and utilized to enhance various aspects of life. Many believe that significant decisions and events are random and beyond our control, attributing success to mere luck. However, the reality may be different: some individuals and organizations excel at creating conditions for serendipity and seizing opportunities when they arise. This exploration reveals that serendipity is not about randomness but about recognizing overlooked connections and strategically combining observations to uncover new possibilities. The author presents a rational and scientific perspective on serendipity, arguing that we can adopt specific approaches to foster its growth in our lives. The text serves as a practical guide for individuals, families, communities, and businesses to cultivate serendipity, thereby enhancing innovation and influence. Drawing from diverse fields such as biology, chemistry, and management, the author illustrates how serendipity operates and demonstrates how we can develop our own ability to harness this powerful force. By understanding the mechanics of serendipity, we can transform luck from a passive occurrence into an active, shapeable element in our lives.
