Episode notes

This chapter delves into luck, categorizing it into three types: blind luck, luck from motion, and luck from awareness. From random chance to intentional actions and strategic positioning, the discussion provides insights on how different forms of luck play a role in our lives.

The Oxford Languages English dictionary defines luck as "success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions."

But all you need to do is perform a simple search of the phrase "quotes on luck" to reveal a great many perspectives that differ from this definition. Maybe there is more to luck than meets the eye. Perhaps it's possible, as these quotes suggest, to manufacture luck.

This episode covers the most valuable framework I've encountered for thinking about luck: The 4 Types of Luck. The 4 types of luck are (1) Blind Luck, (2) Luck from Motion, (3) Luck from Awareness, and (4) Luck from Uniqueness.
