What I Wish I Knew About Luck by Tina Seelig argues that luck isn't random but created through deliberate actions, using a sailing metaphor: your "ship" is your foundation (values, self-story), your "crew" is your network, and your "sail" is the action you take to catch the "winds of luck" (opportunities). The book provides practical tools from Seelig's Stanford classes to help readers see problems as opportunities, turn setbacks into stepping stones, and build ladders to success, essentially teaching you how to engineer your own good fortune.
