What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

So what I love is I'm a big fan of luck theory, right?

What Now? with Trevor Noah

And when I discovered this, it changed my whole life.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

So there was a French philosopher who wrote a whole book about luck.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

and the principles of luck.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

And he said, we always just talk about luck as if it's this one flat idea.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

So lucky, unlucky, terrible, good things, not bad for you, lucky.

And he wrote this whole book and he broke luck down into these four quadrants.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

Yeah, we've got to come with a flick.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

You've got to flick your... Yeah, but anyway.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

No, so there's your dumb luck.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Arthur C. Brooks: Are We Happy Yet?

We almost lost the whole show there.
