The 'serendipity mindset': how to make your own luck
Seeing meaning in the unexpected can help turn mistakes into opportunities, says researcher Dr Christian Busch.
Dr Christian Busch has had a lucky life. He narrowly escaped a catastrophic car accident at the age of 18. The car was wrecked but he walked away without a scratch. It was just the wake-up call he needed. "I turned my life around. Before that I'd been a reckless teenager who lived in the moment, having fun. The accident instilled a sense of urgency to try to find meaning."
Luck continued to play a positive role in his life. An accidental coffee spillage in Starbucks led to romance and though the person in question is no longer his girlfriend they are still close. In his work as an entrepreneur, researcher and community-builder, he co-founded several social enterprises and teaches at both New York University and the London School of Economics - enjoying plenty of lucky breaks along the way. But Busch noticed that he wasn't the only "lucky" one among his friends and colleagues. In fact, many of the most successful and happiest people he encountered also seemed to be on a permanent lucky streak.
