Sommario/riassunto |
|
Throughout history, in times of economic or political uncertainty, people have called on Lady Luck for help. This book shows how to let chance and chance-inspired action work for us. In addition, this book shows how the process of change can stop becoming a chore and become, instead, a playful experience. |
