What if luck isn’t random at all? Tina Seelig PhD reframes what we call “luck” as something you can actively create. Fortune grows from the choices you make and the risks you take when opportunity appears. Drawing on insights from her renowned TED Talk, she shares simple, practical strategies to help you build your own momentum—strengthening your mindset, surrounding yourself with the right people, and taking purposeful action. Through compelling stories and research-backed ideas, she explains how to turn setbacks into progress and challenges into breakthroughs. She has taught at Stanford University for more than 25 years and is Executive Director of Knight-Hennessy Scholars, a highly selective leadership program for 300 graduate students across Stanford University.
