Filled with engaging and instructive stories of real people who've turned serendipity into success, this book reveals the eight counter-intuitive traits that they all have in common, including talking to strangers, making small talk, dropping names, and even eavesdropping. These traits keep people open to new experiences and open the door to good fortune.

There are an endless number of ways that luck can lead to new opportunities. But it's really not luck; it's the result of being open to possibilities that pave the way for success. This handy, real-world guide shows readers how to apply RoAne's practical, proven advice to every aspects of their lives.

From Publishers Weekly
Networking guru RoAne (How to Work a Room) shares common-sense suggestions about how to network in this run-of-the-mill advice book. Using cute catch phrases (those who are open to opportunity are called "You Never Know It Alls"), she makes the point that folks create their own luck by having eight "unusual suspect" traits. (Of course, they also work hard, are persistent and have a positive attitude—the usual suspects indicating success.) These counterintuitive traits include making small talk; dropping names; eavesdropping and listening; straying from their chosen paths; and saying yes when they want to say no. Each chapter shares numerous stories of people turning serendipity (such as chance encounters) into success by utilizing at least one of these traits. "When we are open and pay attention to signs, signals, situations, and people, we are building our own internal serendipity generators," RoAne writes. However, aside from the inspiring examples, there's not enough specific "how-to" to help readers apply RoAne's advice to their own situations. While she puts a nice spin on basic networking principles, this somewhat repetitive book doesn't add much to the Chinese tenet "luck is when preparation meets opportunity." (For another take on this subject, see Networking Magic by Rick Frishman and Jill Lublin)
From Booklist
Networking has gotten a bad rap. Used and abused by job seekers for years, this type of relationship can really contain the seeds of success, if applied correctly. Or so RoAne, author of How to Work a Room, 2000 (among other self-help business books), emphatically declares. Through dozens of real-life anecdotes and a careful examination of the eight critical traits of "lucky" people, she can persuade even the most cynical to embrace the concept. It's a millennial version of Positive Mental Attitude, seizing an opportunity presented by a wrong number, kindnesses from strangers, even the usual "do you know Mr. X who lives in City Y?" conversation. For those reluctant to try out the characteristics, say, of talking to strangers or straying from chosen paths, RoAne not only provides a plethora of anecdotes but also prepares "RoAne's Reminders" at the end of each chapter as a content summary and as an inspiration. A well-known artist of persuasion who shows how to use conviction to its best conclusion.

《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》最吸引我的地方在于，它将“运气”从一个被动的概念，转化成了一种积极主动的“技能”。作者用一种非常生活化的方式，揭示了隐藏在日常行为中的“运气密码”。我记得其中一个例子，关于作者如何通过观察路边广告牌上的微小变化，从而提前发现了某个行业的新趋势，并迅速调整了自己的投资方向。这个细节看似微不足道，但却生动地展现了“注意力”和“洞察力”在创造运气中的关键作用。书中还强调了“坚持”和“耐心”的重要性，以及如何在看似漫长的等待过程中，保持积极的心态，不断优化自己的策略。它不是那种让你一夜暴富的书，而是循序渐进地引导你建立一套完整的“运气创造体系”。这本书让我明白，所谓的“天赋异禀”或者“天生幸运”，很多时候只是长期刻意练习和积极主动的结果。它给了我一种全新的自我赋权感，让我相信，我的生活轨迹，很大程度上掌握在我自己的手中，我可以通过不断地学习和实践，去“吸引”和“创造”属于我自己的好运气。
评分我一直是个对生活充满好奇，但又常常因为“时机不对”而错过很多机会的人。读完《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》后，我最大的感受就是，原来“时机”是可以被“创造”出来的。《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》在这一点上做得非常出色，它并没有给我一本空洞的理论，而是提供了大量的实操性建议。作者通过分析大量的成功案例，将“创造运气”的过程分解成了一系列可执行的步骤。比如，书中详细讲解了如何建立和维护高质量的人脉网络，以及如何在关键时刻利用这些网络。它不是那种教你“巧取豪夺”的功利性书籍，而是强调真诚的交流和互助的重要性。我还记得关于“信息不对称”的论述，作者如何教导读者去主动搜集信息，去识别那些别人看不到的潜在价值，以及如何通过这些信息来“预判”并“引导”机会的出现。这种能力，真的就像拥有了一双“透视眼”，能够看穿事物的本质，并提前布局。这本书让我明白，所谓的“贵人相助”或者“巧合”，很多时候都是自己精心铺垫的结果，只是我们之前没有意识到罢了。
评分这本书带给我的，是一种全新的看待风险和不确定性的视角。我们常常因为害怕失败而不敢尝试，错失了很多本可以抓住的机会，但《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》却巧妙地引导读者去拥抱不确定性，并将其转化为一种驱动力。作者在书中深入剖析了“机会成本”和“沉没成本”的概念，并将其与“创造运气”联系起来。他解释了为什么有时“冒险”反而是更安全的选择，以及如何通过系统的风险评估来最大化成功的概率，同时最小化潜在的损失。我尤其欣赏作者在处理“失败”时的态度，他认为每一次的“不成功”，都只是走向最终成功的“一次不完美尝试”，而并非终点。书中提供了一些非常有效的“复盘”技巧，教导读者如何从每一次的经历中提炼出宝贵的经验教训，并将其应用到未来的决策中。这种“从错误中学习”的能力，是培养“好运气”的核心竞争力。读完这本书，我发现自己不再像以前那样害怕面对未知，反而多了一份跃跃欲试的勇气，因为我知道，每一次的尝试，无论结果如何，都在为我的“运气”添砖加瓦。
评分从心理学的角度来看，《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》提供了一种非常实用的框架，帮助我理解并重塑了我对“吸引力法则”的看法。过去，我总是将吸引力法则理解为一种“想着就能得到”的冥想，结果可想而知，效果甚微。这本书则更加务实，它强调了心态的重要性，但同时也指出了心态必须与行动相结合。书中提到了“认知偏差”如何影响我们对机会的判断，以及如何通过刻意练习来克服这些偏差，从而更清晰地看到那些潜在的“好运”。我特别喜欢作者关于“积极归因”和“消极归因”的讨论。以前，当我遇到挫折时，总会把原因归结为“我就是运气不好”。但这本书教会我，即使是看似不幸的事件，也可能隐藏着学习和成长的契机，关键在于我们如何去解读和应对。作者鼓励读者去寻找事件中的积极因素，即使它们微不足道。这种思维方式的转变，让我不再轻易被失败打倒，而是从中汲取力量，为下一次的“创造运气”打下基础。这本书不仅仅是一本关于运气的手册，更是一本关于如何提升自我效能感和 resilience 的指南，它让我在面对挑战时，多了一份自信和从容。
评分这本书简直是颠覆了我对“运气”的认知！我一直以为运气是一种虚无缥缈、可遇不可求的东西，就像天上掉下来的馅饼，要么有，要么没有。但《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》完全打破了这个迷思。作者用极其详实的比喻和生动的故事，一点点地揭示了运气背后隐藏的强大规律。我记得其中一个章节，详细阐述了“机会”的捕捉和“准备”的重要性。作者不是简单地说“你要准备好”，而是深入分析了在不同情境下，什么样的准备是有效的，以及如何通过一系列微小的习惯和决策，将自己置于更有利于“撞上”机会的位置。他举了一个例子，关于一位艺术家如何从一个看似无关紧要的街头表演中，最终获得了国际艺术展的邀请。这个过程并非偶然，而是艺术家多年来不断磨练技艺，同时保持开放的心态，积极与人交流，最终在那个特定的时刻，他的作品和他的出现正好契合了某个潜在机会的需求。读到这里，我才恍然大悟，原来我们所说的“幸运儿”，很多时候是那些比别人付出了更多努力，并且更懂得如何去“制造”自己被幸运眷顾的土壤。这本书让我从被动等待转变为主动创造，这种心态上的转变，是无价的。
