Most success stories are bull. Not because successful people didn't work hard, but because they won't admit how much of their success came down to luck. Yes, luck. Being born into the right family or country, having the right connections, or just happening to be in the right place at the right time. Sarah Kellerman is back with a book that will piss off every motivational speaker, life coach and self-help guru in America. After spending years studying why some people succeed while others with identical skills and work ethic fail, she's discovered the uncomfortable truth: success is largely about luck. But acknowledging that doesn't make you powerless. It makes you strategic. The Lucky 7 Second Rule teaches you to: - Recognize the role of privilege and timing in "self-made" success stories - Use whatever advantages you have without becoming a sociopathic opportunist - Build wealth and stability when you can't afford to fail - Create opportunities for others as part of your own success strategy - Navigate randomness instead of pretending you can control everything This isn't another book about manifesting your dreams or thinking positive thoughts. It's about building systems that work in the real world, where the deck is often stacked and luck matters more than anyone wants to admit. If you're ready to stop playing a rigged game and start building a better one, the revolution starts with a seven-second countdown. Seven... six... five... four... three... two... one. What are you going to do with your turn?
