Reviews / Votes
In The Formula for Luck, not only does Lacey prove that luck can be learned and its effects multiplied by regular practice, but he theorizes the precise way in which the Luck Mindset functions as a component part of a larger Formula for Luck. With that formula, Lacey gives us the tools for measuring our personal progress as well as incorporating and increasing luck in our work environments and in our communities at large. "The Formula For Luck just plain works. It provides us all with a powerful and learnable set of principles which guide us towards our full potential and instill within us the ability to generate incredible personal and professional outcomes."- GINO WICKMAN ( bestselling Author of Traction and Entrepreneurial Leap, Founder of EOS ) "Stuart solved a puzzle I've wrestled with for decades: The Formula for Luck, with its well-researched 10 Principles of the Luck Mindset, shows us that we can influence the probability that luck will be an ongoing part of our life journeys."
- JACK DALY ( three time #1 Amazon bestselling author and CEO Coach ) "Stuart convinces us that Luck can be generated and multiplied. Not since Stephen Covey wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has anyone so powerfully simplified and codified an easy-to-learn operating system that empowers anyone to dramatically increase the quality and quantity of their outcomes."
- SALIM ISMAIL (Co-Founder OpenExO, Singularity University and XPrize and bestselling author of Exponential Organizations) "Stuart has cracked the code. He solves the algorithm at the heart of luck, sharing stories from today's "luckiest" leaders to create a compelling case for how luck can be learned."
- VERNE HARNISH (Founder Entrepreneur's Organization (EO) and bestselling author of Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0)
