In the story of every great company and career, there is one defining moment when luck and skill collide. This book is about making that moment happen.

Johansson uses stories from throughout history to illustrate the specific actions we can take to create more click moments, place lots of high-potential bets, open ourselves up to chance encounters, and harness the complex forces of success that follow.
