Psychologist Richard Wiseman spent years studying what separates lucky people from everyone else. When he taught a group of self-described unlucky people a specific set of behaviours, 80% of them came back reporting they'd become luckier. Luck, it turns out, can be learned.

In this episode we break down eight habits lucky people share, with the real stories behind them: a question box reply that turned into an event invite, a stressful morning routine that completely turned around, and the one piece of advice Dolly Parton gave Miley Cyrus. We close by sharing our night time routines.

What you'll learn:

* Why luck favours motion, and how to put yourself in its path

* How to tell a lucky hunch apart from ordinary brain chatter

* Why expecting good luck changes what your brain notices

* How to turn bad luck into good (and the ancient story of the farmer who always said "we'll see")

* Why talking about what you love opens doors you didn't know existed

* How to train your brain to wake up expecting a good day

* Why beginner's luck is real, and how to use it

* How every conversation can become a doorway to your next opportunity
