Dear friend,

For years now I’ve been collecting small things that people all over the world do that make them luckier.

Some are simple. Some are strange. Some are just… odd.

But wherever I go, people swear by them.

Today I found a fun one called “the lemon pig” — an odd little ritual from Scandinavia that helps you get find a better job.

A man in Naples told me this one.

His father was a builder.

Before stepping onto any job site, he would stop at the entrance, touch the doorway, and pause for a second.

Or the one I learned from my barber.

His grandmother used to leave small coins on windowsills and park benches for other people to find.

Or this one, where in parts of Eastern Europe, there’s a habit of opening a window first thing in the morning. Even in winter.

The idea is that whatever happened yesterday was the past, and it needed to be let go of.

A guy I went to trade college with in Berlin always carried a silver coin in his pocket.

Said he found it years ago on the day he met his first wife.

And a taxi driver in Tokyo told me that once a week, he deliberately took a route he wouldn’t normally take.

No reason, he said except that routine made you blind. And luck, in his words, “doesn’t live on the usual road.”

Lots and lots and lots of little stories about things people all over the world do to get luck.

I share them each day in The Luck Report, 100% free.
