Lucky by Design, The Hidden Economics You Need to Get More of What You Want by Judd Kessler
Can you make yourself lucky? There is so much we can’t control – who our parents are, how talented we are, what country we are born in. This book shows that in that narrow but all-important area where we have agency, we can learn strategies which help us beat the odds. If you would like to jump to the front of the line to get a rare entry ticket or stack the cards so that your child has a shot at the college they most want, you can learn effective tactics to turn your luck around.
This book might be viewed as an economics textbook, but the information is conveyed in such a clear and amusing way that it has nothing in common with the tedium you might associate with that field. Examples from Judd’s home life let the reader know that economics is not necessarily a dry field with overwhelming technicalities, but rather one with practical applications. The book begins with Judd staring down his three little kids with only two frozen desserts in hand. What is the ethical solution? You will enjoy how he deconstructs this dilemma.
