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

5. The Influence of Social Networks: Luck and Connections

Social networks play a significant role in the science of luck. Research shows that individuals with diverse and extensive social networks tend to experience more 'lucky' opportunities. This is because connections can provide access to information, resources, and support that might not be available otherwise. Lucky people often maintain strong social ties and are open to new relationships. They understand the value of collaboration and the potential for unexpected opportunities to arise from their network. By actively cultivating and nurturing our social connections, we can increase our exposure to lucky breaks and serendipitous encounters.
