Richard Wiseman quotes

Happiness doesn't just flow from success; it actually causes it. (Richard Wiseman)

Luck is not a magical ability or a gift from the gods. Instead, it is a way of thinking and behaving.

Richard Wiseman

Lucky people create, notice, and act upon the chance opportunities in their lives.

Richard Wiseman

Lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating their own chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

Richard Wiseman

Richard Wiseman

Lucky people create, notice and act upon the chance opportunities in their lives. Being in the right place at the right time is actually all about being in the right state of mind.

Richard Wiseman

The concept of luck is very straightforward. Some people notice opportunities and others don't.

Richard Wiseman

Our beliefs do not sit passively in our brains waiting to be confirmed or contradicted by incoming information. Instead, they play a key role in shaping how we see the world.
