10 Things You Didn’t Know About the Science of Luck

2. The Role of Intuition: Trusting Your Gut

Intuition is often cited as a key component of luck. Many successful individuals attribute their good fortune to a well-honed gut instinct. Recent research in neuroscience suggests that intuition is not just a vague feeling but a sophisticated process where the brain quickly processes information and makes predictions based on past experiences. This rapid processing allows individuals to make decisions that appear lucky but are actually based on subtle cues and patterns. By cultivating a stronger connection to our intuitive processes, we might improve our ability to make 'lucky' choices, enhancing our overall success and satisfaction.
