New Delhi: Is luck simply a matter of chance, or can people learn to recognise and harness it? In The Psychology of Luck: Korean Secrets for Attracting Wealth and Success, Min Ji Yoo explores how mindset, self-awareness and the ability to recognise opportunities can influence the way people experience success.

Drawing on Korean traditions of numerology, astrology and shamanism, as well as her experience in the television industry, Yoo argues that successful people do not merely wait for lucky breaks but learn to identify and act on opportunities when they appear.

The author draws on her interactions with celebrities, business leaders, politicians and ordinary people to examine the psychological habits that can help individuals make the most of favourable circumstances. The book explores themes such as trusting one’s instincts, overcoming anxiety, developing self-knowledge and cultivating abundance.

Yoo, who inherited her intuitive abilities from her grandmother, was raised in Korean traditions of numerology, astrology and shamanism. She began her career in the Korean television industry, where she observed how successful people approached luck and opportunity. She later became a producer and publisher and continued studying luck and fate.

Through a mix of traditional Korean wisdom and personal observations, The Psychology of Luck presents luck as something that can be better understood and consciously approached—not simply something that happens by chance.
