It really works!, June 10, 2004
This review is from: Lucky You!: Proven Strategies for Finding Good Fortune: Proven Strategies You Can Use to Find Your Fortune (Paperback)
For me Randall Fitzgerald's book has been the start of a wonderful and magical journey. Although I'm not particularly insecure, a chain of unhappy events led me to believe I wasn't worth being lucky.
Lucky You! has taught me to recognize and appreciate the magic in everyday life.
Lucky You! has taught me to use my intuition and pre-cog dreams.
Lucky You! has taught me to see the beauty of synchronicities.
But most of all, Lucky You! has taught me I'm worth being lucky!
Since I've read Lucky You! I've won small prizes in the lottery and other games, but luck has also come to me in other ways: it has guided me to chances and opportunities.
Let Lucky You! guide you too! It's a real page-turner, filled with interesting stories and anecdotes. Buy it! You won't regret it.

The Author's Confession, April 28, 2005
This review is from: Lucky You!: Proven Strategies for Finding Good Fortune: Proven Strategies You Can Use to Find Your Fortune (Paperback)
As the author of LUCKY YOU! may I take this opportunity to respond to comments made by several of the reviewers?!
Every author eventually discovers the hard way that publisher's have the final say over the title, subtitle, and backcover description of their book. That was certainly the case with me. The subtitle in particular, 'Proven Strategies For Finding Good Fortune,' bears no resemblance to my original title, but it is the representation the publisher had the legal right to impose.
To readers who feel the front and back cover misrepresent the contents of my book, please accept my apologies.
Having confessed this, I must take exception to some of the other comments, especially about its treatment of gambling. As I state in the book, games of chance are a metaphor for our lives. Every day we pull the lever of chance on our finances, our health, our safety, and our relationships. Gambling simply offers a short feedback loop between action and reward. With games of chance we can experiment at using our intuition to sense luck opportunities.It is a method for sharpening our skills in dealing with the challenges of life.
If I were writing this book again, more than two years after its completion, I would certainly place more emphasis on practical ways to enhance intuitive luck. This is an on-going consideration for me and has expanded since the book. On my website, www.doctorluck.com, my CD's and newsletter, The Science Of Luck, all concern techniques for using the latest scientific research into intuition to enrich the quality of our lives.
best of luck to you, Randall Fitzgerald

Thought Provoking, September 8, 2005
This review is from: Lucky You!: Proven Strategies for Finding Good Fortune: Proven Strategies You Can Use to Find Your Fortune (Paperback)
The first section of the book has several repetitive gambling stories. Get the to the last half of the book, and that is where the real story is, and the real thought provoking ideas are developed.
