Is Luck Random — or Can You Cultivate It? | Christian Busch | TED
In this TED Talk, Christian Busch explores the concept of serendipity, arguing that good luck isn't entirely random but can be cultivated. Drawing from his personal experience with the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, he introduces 'zemblanity' – bad luck by design, embedded in fragile systems. Busch outlines a framework for developing a 'serendipity mindset,' teaching viewers how to identify, plant, connect, and act on unexpected triggers to transform setbacks into positive outcomes. He emphasizes reframing risk to overcome the fear of rejection and embrace the power of the unexpected.
