Near-Fatal Car Crash That Changed Perspective
- Christian Busch recounts nearly killing his friend in a car crash that occurred when the friend changed seats at the last moment.
- He uses the story to show how random events can trigger deep searches for meaning and life changes.
Meaning Comes From Response
- Serendipity depends on how we react to unexpected events, not just on chance itself.
- We either make accidents meaningful or create more meaningful accidents through our responses.

- Unexpected events frequently underlie major innovations and life changes, but agency still matters.
- Building a 'muscle' for noticing and acting on the unexpected increases serendipity's likelihood.
