The 4 Types of Luck:
In 1978, a neurologist named Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, and Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.
In it, he proposed that there are four types of luck:
(1) Blind Luck
(2) Luck from Motion
(3) Luck from Awareness
(4) Luck from Uniqueness
Here's what they are:
Type 1: Blind Luck
Completely out of your control:
• Where you are born
• Who you were born to
• Base circumstances of your life
• "Acts of God"
These are the truly random occurrences of the universe.
Type 2: Luck from Motion
You’re creating motion and collisions through hustle and energy that you are inserting into an ecosystem.
You increase your luck's surface area through simple movement.
The increase in collisions opens you up to more lucky events.
Type 3: Luck from Awareness
Depth of understanding within a given arena allows you to become very good at positioning yourself for lucky breaks.
Naval says: "You become very good at spotting luck."
You can “spot luck” from a mile away because of your knowledge and experience.
Type 4: Luck from Uniqueness
Your unique set of attributes attracts specific luck.
“[This type] favors those with distinctive, if not eccentric, hobbies, personal lifestyles, and motor behaviors.” Dr. James Austin
Type 4 Luck actually seeks you out.
The Stages of Luck
I personally think of Types 1–3 as coming in stages as you grow up:
• Type 1 dictates your early years
• Type 2 as you hustle in your 20s
• Type 3 as you gain experience in your 30s and beyond
Type 4 is unique—it’s dislocated from age.
Always remember the Luck Razor:
When choosing between two paths, choose the path that has a larger LUCK SURFACE AREA.
Your actions put you in a position where luck is more likely to strike.
It’s hard to get lucky watching TV at home; it’s easy to get lucky when you’re engaging and learning.
