Critics Review
Praise for The Serendipity Mindset:
“In this incisive book, Christian Busch reveals that luck isn’t always dumb. People who can see what others don’t—who are awake to the high probability of the improbable—can achieve and contribute in ways their more blinkered colleagues cannot. The Serendipity Mindset is a bracing and hopeful antidote to a world addicted to efficiency and control.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of When and Drive
“In The Serendipity Mindset, Christian Busch shows us that understanding how serendipity works can change the way we work and live. Drawing from both cutting-edge science and real-world examples, The Serendipity Mindset is a wise, exciting, and life-changing book.” —Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post and founder and CEO of Thrive Global
“Why is the serendipity mindset that Christian Busch describes so important? To fully leverage the discoverability and connectivity that today’s mobile networked world enables, you must hone your ability to connect the dots of chance encounters and seemingly random information in creative and productive ways. This book can help you do that. Highly recommended.” —Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and coauthor of Blitzscaling
“How to create the opportunities for a successful and fulfilling life? Christian Busch shows convincingly that it’s more than blind luck in The Serendipity Mindset, which offers excellent practical guidance for all.” —Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever and cofounder of IMAGINE
