About this listen


Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have all the luck in the world and it seems to come easy to them? Perhaps it’s more than just “luck”. It might be serendipity.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, serendipity is the fact of something interesting or pleasant happening by chance.

That’s more common than you might think. It happened to me one day, in the summer of 1993, in New York. Out of the blue, I ran into the one person who could lead me to no other than Luciano Pavarotti, the opera legend.

Yes, that was serendipitous! And you will also hear a version of the fairy tale that inspired the word, as we know it today.

With every episode of this podcast, I want you to travel in your imagination and improve your English listening comprehension.

The book mentioned in this episode is The Serendipity Mindset:The Art and Science of Creating Good Luck, by Christian Busch.
