Born Lucky? The Psychology Behind Feeling Fortunate
This episode explores whether luck is a real force or simply a mindset. It discusses Dr. Richard Wiseman’s research showing that self-identified lucky people are more open, optimistic, and alert to opportunities. Concepts like the self-fulfilling prophecy and cultural beliefs about luck are examined, revealing that our perception and behavior play a major role in how “lucky” we feel. The episode concludes that luck isn’t magic—it’s how we choose to see and act in the world.
