This form of luck isn\u2019t magic, but rather stems from certain people\u2019s psychological makeup\u2014they tend to be extroverts who are open to new experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Despite Wiseman\u2019s observation, not every opportunity may be worth taking. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Success Principles<\/em><\/a>, Jack Canfield warns that if you follow too many mediocre opportunities, they\u2019ll consume so much time and energy that you can\u2019t take better chances when they come along. Canfield writes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\/principle-42#learn-to-say-no\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it\u2019s important to say no<\/a> to \u201clucky moments\u201d that don\u2019t support your overarching goals. He suggests writing down a list of opportunities that only get in your way, as well as a list that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\/principle-42#seek-great-opportunities\">divides your \u201cgood\u201d opportunities from your \u201cgrea<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\/principle-42#seek-great-opportunities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">t<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\/principle-42#seek-great-opportunities\">\u201d ones<\/a>. This process requires engaging your analytical skills more than following your intuition, as opposed to what Wiseman says lucky people do, but Canfield says it\u2019s a more effective path to achieving a long-term goal.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiseman writes that extroverts, by their nature, meet many people and put energy into maintaining long-term relationships. <strong>The extensive social network an extrovert creates dramatically increases their chances of beneficial chance meetings and connections.<\/strong> Therefore, if you\u2019re looking for a job, a romantic partner, or just a good plumber to work on your house, and you have a wide network of connections, your odds are much higher of \u201clucking into\u201d someone who can help you. The more contacts you have, the better your odds\u2014extroverts create luck through simple mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: This particular point of Wiseman\u2019s may sound disheartening to those who don\u2019t find interacting with others easy, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Taking-the-Work-Out-of-Networking\/Karen-Wickre\/9781501199288\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Taking the Work Out of Networking<\/em><\/a>, Karen Wickre writes that even introverts have innate qualities they can use to establish and broaden connections. For instance, introverts are adept listeners and observers who are good at understanding other people\u2019s feelings. As a result, an introvert can form deeper connections than a more overtly outgoing \u201cpeople person.\u201d However, introverts generally need to make a more concerted effort to maintain and grow their network of connections, part of which could certainly be to believe you\u2019ll have good luck when meeting other people.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-relaxing-into-luck\">Relaxing Into Luck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>However large your circle, you have to be open to grabbing chances when they come, and a relaxed approach to life can help with that. Wiseman\u2019s research shows that <strong>lucky people tend to have a relaxed attitude and an openness to new experiences.<\/strong> People with lower anxiety are more likely to view chance occurrences with less suspicion, seeing them as opportunities instead of dangers. Likewise, people who seek out new experiences expose themselves to a broader range of opportunities than people who stay in safe, familiar patterns. In short, lucky people&#8217;s relaxed approach to life lets them capitalize on opportunities that others overlook. Being \u201clucky\u201d in this sense simply means staying open to the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: One exemplar of Wiseman\u2019s point was award-winning physicist Richard Feynman, whose autobiography <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/surely-youre-joking-mr-feynman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Surely You\u2019re Joking, Mr. Feynman!<\/em><\/a> says hardly a word about his scientific achievements and instead highlights the crazy adventures he had while seeking new experiences, such as playing drums with a Brazilian marching band or learning how to draw on a dare from a colleague. Feynman never concerned himself with luck, but he lived in pursuit of happiness, which Wiseman equates to being much the same thing. For Feynman, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-secret-to-happiness\/\">the secret to happiness<\/a> was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/surely-youre-joking-mr-feynman\/1-page-summary#having-fun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not feeling responsible for the world<\/a> while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/surely-youre-joking-mr-feynman\/1-page-summary#curiosity-and-persistence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viewing it with wide-eyed curiosity<\/a>, both of which increase your chances for the kind of luck that Wiseman describes.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do extroverts have more lucky moments than introverts?
