A fascinating, enchanting, and personal look at the meaning of luck, and the way in which it has shaped our shared history and continues to influence our day-to-day lives.
What does it mean to be lucky? How might we mitigate the effects of bad luck and maximize those of good? Is there really such a thing as ‘luck’ at all?
To answer these questions, David Flusfeder sets out on a quest that takes him across the world and through history. Traveling from Siberia to Versailles, from his father’s life in war-time Poland to Nietzsche on the slopes of Vesuvius, Flusfeder investigates some victors of luck and those who were defeated by it. In following him, we confront who we are and how we might choose to live.
