Book Review: The Luck Factor

In the final part of the book Gunter says, “It is unlikely that your own personal views of luck have been changed radically since you started the book…” He goes on to say that wasn’t the purpose of the book but nevertheless, in my case, he is correct. I continue to hold the belief that “lucky” things are caused either by the expected probability of events or by a combination of hard work and knowledge. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating read, covering a range of individual life stories, mathematical and magical explanations for luck and practical advice for improving your chances in life. If you apply some of the suggestions provided to your investing, you might just be lucky enough to make your fortune!
