Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Most people are afraid to admit the role of luck in their lives.It feels better to be "self-made" - the kind of person who boldly declares that if you drop them in the middle of New York, penniless and naked, they'll emerge a millionaire thirty days later.Nothing could be further from the truth.John Morgan is not afraid to acknowledge the tremendous role luck has played in his life. There's been plenty of good - like deciding to attend Mass on a whim and meeting the love of his life - and plenty of bad - like being raised by an alcoholic father who couldn't keep a job. But the bundle of good and bad luck we inherit doesn't mean we're helpless.This book will show you how to find luck, get return on luck, enhance luck, and turn bad luck into good luck.Unflinching, honest, and sometimes raw, Life is Luck looks at the remarkable life of the man who built the largest personal injury law firm in American history, along with an enterprise of attractions, hotels, apartment buildings, and shopping centers.LIFE. LUCK. LEGACY.I wrote this book to tell the truth about life and success. And the truth is, I can trace everything back to a paperboy in Lexington, Kentucky who borrowed money from his grandmother at eleven years old and had no idea that luck was already doing most of the heavy lifting. And today, looking back at the remarkable journey that paperboy would take, gratitude stands as the most important part of my life. I wrote this book for my wife, who is by far the luckiest break in my life, and my children and grandchildren. And I wrote it for anyone who has ever been dealt a bad hand and wondered why or caught a lucky break and didn't recognize it until it was in the rearview mirror. If this book does what I hope it does, it gives people an honest framework for accepting the role luck plays - finding the opportunity buried in the bad and being ready when the good eventually comes around. -John Morgan
