Dr. Christian Busch is the Director of the Global Economy program at New York University's Center for Global Affairs and an author.

The science of creating luck seems like an oxymoron. How is it possible to create more of something which is totally random? Dr Busch's lab has spend years looking at the habits and behaviours of people who have lots of luck to distill down how everyone can replicate this in their own lives.
