Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on I Heart Radio.

In your opinion, Carol, what is luck?

You know, I'm a writer, and I'm a real word person, so I looked up what luck is.

And the definition of luck is basically success at enterprise or things without,

apparently without, you know, not based on your own work.

Right place, right time, things like that.

Camp, it has a, they really emphasize the chance and random nature of luck.

But what I have found and what science absolutely corroborates, what gaze experience, experience of anybody who thinks about this and who is a lucky person is that

your luck, few people grasp that the randomness, it's not as random as we think.

It's really the combined result of your attitudes, your actions, and your associations.

And that idea, they seem random, there is a random component, but what even what seems random could be something you set into motion weeks, months or years ago that finally comes to fruition.

And because it, you know, wasn't, didn't seem directly causal, it'll feel random.

But your luck is so much up to you.

Some people would say that you can't control luck, but you, me and gay and so many other people who have looked at this would say, uh-uh, that's not the case.

I think you can impact and influence your luck when I first read the book and I was listening to gay in your last segment.

You know, the big thing that he talks about in his experience was, you know, I, I committed to it, I decided to be lucky.

And I thought that can't be enough, you know, I just can't be.

And it is the, I mean, all the scientists say that mindset, the social scientist, the unpositive psychologist, mindset is a huge, huge factor.

It's a huge determinant in luck.

So yes, that is where you start.

And the other thing is what we found and what for me was, I think the biggest shift, I read gay's book and I was still struggling with it.

And then, you know, with that concept of my own life and understanding it, how to explain it well and complete it.
