You make your own luck? Think again.
A twelve-chapter deep dive into the idea
that luck isn't created or engineered —
it's assigned.
And the percentage you're born with shapes everything.
"You have eighty-five percent luck in your life. Remember that. Don't forget it."
— A stranger, in a Chelmsford salon, twenty-five years ago
Every chapter takes a different piece of your life — your birth, your body, your era, your country, your people — and asks what luck actually had to do with it.
The moment the stranger says the number that started everything — in Norman's own voice.
From Chapter One — "The Man Who Knew"
The moment that started it all — from Chapter One.
The first honest reactions land here as they come in.
"WOW!!!! Just wow!! This left me already thinking about my own percentage, and desperate to hear more! I've often looked at other people who appear just as happy and hard working, not getting anywhere near the breaks that I've had. And others who appear to literally have it all, and still don't seem grateful or happy. This book is going to be epic."
— Kellie Green
"Wow, thanks Norman — I'm totally hooked. No bullshit. You've got such an interesting way of explaining things, and I'm genuinely excited to hear the next chapters."
— Vivian Greenaway
"I'm hooked, really interesting concept and I truly believe you're right."
— Linda Keeble
"This is a very interesting introduction and I definitely want to hear more, as would any listener. It's a question many of us must ask ourselves, and your audiobook sounds as though it's going to answer this question and give peace of mind to others."
— Milly Hay-Gomes, Psychotherapist
