Description
How much should we think about the accidents that drive our lives? How central is our lack of control? Maybe we didn’t get the flu the weekend of our big presentation or got somewhere first because the traffic jam happened on the other highway. Maybe our success isn’t our own. On this episode of Why?, we explore how chance shapes who we are and what we do.
Mark Robert Rank is the Herbert S Hadley Professor of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author of ten books, including The Poverty Paradox and the soon to be released, The Random Factor: How Chance and Luck Profoundly Shape our Lives and the World Around us.
