Is good luck a random accident or a skill you can master?
After losing his home to the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, scientist Christian Busch began exploring the mechanics of fortune. This video examines whether we can move beyond random chance to actively cultivate serendipity in our lives.
Drawing on over ten years of scientific research, Busch introduces the concept of 'zemblanity'—the opposite of serendipity, representing bad luck that feels predictable or by design. By examining the distinction between random events and intentional mindset shifts, the presentation explores how a serendipity mindset can help individuals navigate unpredictability and transform significant setbacks into unexpected new beginnings.
