About the book: 2022 / When New York University professor Christian Busch was 18 years old, he miraculously survived and remained unharmed in a car accident. Since then, he has found more and more evidence that accidents and unforeseen events influence our lives more than is commonly believed. A spontaneous meeting in a cafe can lead to a long-term business partnership, a forgotten wallet can be saved from an accident, and an accidental mistake in an experiment can lead to a new invention. This book is about serendipity - the ability to find unusual solutions, cultivate happy coincidences, and achieve luck in everything from small everyday incidents to world-changing discoveries. Christian Busch explains that chance can be turned into a tool. Based on his own example and many years of experience communicating with successful people from different fields, the author shows how to develop serendipitous thinking, increase the likelihood of happy accidents and make luck your constant ally.
