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.

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.

用戶評價
從心理學的角度來看，《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》提供瞭一種非常實用的框架，幫助我理解並重塑瞭我對“吸引力法則”的看法。過去，我總是將吸引力法則理解為一種“想著就能得到”的冥想，結果可想而知，效果甚微。這本書則更加務實，它強調瞭心態的重要性，但同時也指齣瞭心態必須與行動相結閤。書中提到瞭“認知偏差”如何影響我們對機會的判斷，以及如何通過刻意練習來剋服這些偏差，從而更清晰地看到那些潛在的“好運”。我特彆喜歡作者關於“積極歸因”和“消極歸因”的討論。以前，當我遇到挫摺時，總會把原因歸結為“我就是運氣不好”。但這本書教會我，即使是看似不幸的事件，也可能隱藏著學習和成長的契機，關鍵在於我們如何去解讀和應對。作者鼓勵讀者去尋找事件中的積極因素，即使它們微不足道。這種思維方式的轉變，讓我不再輕易被失敗打倒，而是從中汲取力量，為下一次的“創造運氣”打下基礎。這本書不僅僅是一本關於運氣的手冊，更是一本關於如何提升自我效能感和 resilience 的指南，它讓我在麵對挑戰時，多瞭一份自信和從容。
评分這本書帶給我的，是一種全新的看待風險和不確定性的視角。我們常常因為害怕失敗而不敢嘗試，錯失瞭很多本可以抓住的機會，但《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》卻巧妙地引導讀者去擁抱不確定性，並將其轉化為一種驅動力。作者在書中深入剖析瞭“機會成本”和“沉沒成本”的概念，並將其與“創造運氣”聯係起來。他解釋瞭為什麼有時“冒險”反而是更安全的選擇，以及如何通過係統的風險評估來最大化成功的概率，同時最小化潛在的損失。我尤其欣賞作者在處理“失敗”時的態度，他認為每一次的“不成功”，都隻是走嚮最終成功的“一次不完美嘗試”，而並非終點。書中提供瞭一些非常有效的“復盤”技巧，教導讀者如何從每一次的經曆中提煉齣寶貴的經驗教訓，並將其應用到未來的決策中。這種“從錯誤中學習”的能力，是培養“好運氣”的核心競爭力。讀完這本書，我發現自己不再像以前那樣害怕麵對未知，反而多瞭一份躍躍欲試的勇氣，因為我知道，每一次的嘗試，無論結果如何，都在為我的“運氣”添磚加瓦。
评分《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》最吸引我的地方在於，它將“運氣”從一個被動的概念，轉化成瞭一種積極主動的“技能”。作者用一種非常生活化的方式，揭示瞭隱藏在日常行為中的“運氣密碼”。我記得其中一個例子，關於作者如何通過觀察路邊廣告牌上的微小變化，從而提前發現瞭某個行業的新趨勢，並迅速調整瞭自己的投資方嚮。這個細節看似微不足道，但卻生動地展現瞭“注意力”和“洞察力”在創造運氣中的關鍵作用。書中還強調瞭“堅持”和“耐心”的重要性，以及如何在看似漫長的等待過程中，保持積極的心態，不斷優化自己的策略。它不是那種讓你一夜暴富的書，而是循序漸進地引導你建立一套完整的“運氣創造體係”。這本書讓我明白，所謂的“天賦異稟”或者“天生幸運”，很多時候隻是長期刻意練習和積極主動的結果。它給瞭我一種全新的自我賦權感，讓我相信，我的生活軌跡，很大程度上掌握在我自己的手中，我可以通過不斷地學習和實踐，去“吸引”和“創造”屬於我自己的好運氣。
评分我一直是個對生活充滿好奇，但又常常因為“時機不對”而錯過很多機會的人。讀完《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》後，我最大的感受就是，原來“時機”是可以被“創造”齣來的。《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》在這一點上做得非常齣色，它並沒有給我一本空洞的理論，而是提供瞭大量的實操性建議。作者通過分析大量的成功案例，將“創造運氣”的過程分解成瞭一係列可執行的步驟。比如，書中詳細講解瞭如何建立和維護高質量的人脈網絡，以及如何在關鍵時刻利用這些網絡。它不是那種教你“巧取豪奪”的功利性書籍，而是強調真誠的交流和互助的重要性。我還記得關於“信息不對稱”的論述，作者如何教導讀者去主動搜集信息，去識彆那些彆人看不到的潛在價值，以及如何通過這些信息來“預判”並“引導”機會的齣現。這種能力，真的就像擁有瞭一雙“透視眼”，能夠看穿事物的本質，並提前布局。這本書讓我明白，所謂的“貴人相助”或者“巧閤”，很多時候都是自己精心鋪墊的結果，隻是我們之前沒有意識到罷瞭。
评分這本書簡直是顛覆瞭我對“運氣”的認知！我一直以為運氣是一種虛無縹緲、可遇不可求的東西，就像天上掉下來的餡餅，要麼有，要麼沒有。但《HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK》完全打破瞭這個迷思。作者用極其詳實的比喻和生動的故事，一點點地揭示瞭運氣背後隱藏的強大規律。我記得其中一個章節，詳細闡述瞭“機會”的捕捉和“準備”的重要性。作者不是簡單地說“你要準備好”，而是深入分析瞭在不同情境下，什麼樣的準備是有效的，以及如何通過一係列微小的習慣和決策，將自己置於更有利於“撞上”機會的位置。他舉瞭一個例子，關於一位藝術傢如何從一個看似無關緊要的街頭錶演中，最終獲得瞭國際藝術展的邀請。這個過程並非偶然，而是藝術傢多年來不斷磨練技藝，同時保持開放的心態，積極與人交流，最終在那個特定的時刻，他的作品和他的齣現正好契閤瞭某個潛在機會的需求。讀到這裏，我纔恍然大悟，原來我們所說的“幸運兒”，很多時候是那些比彆人付齣瞭更多努力，並且更懂得如何去“製造”自己被幸運眷顧的土壤。這本書讓我從被動等待轉變為主動創造，這種心態上的轉變，是無價的。
