Just My Luck?

<p>To survive a life-long quarrel with authority-and come out the winner-takes luck.</p><p>Was it really just luck that took Irv Zuckerman from a Depression-era childhood in a Brighton Beach rooming house through a life that should have ended at 20 in a French forest to the boardrooms of some of the world's mightiest corporations and beyond? Or was it something else-a series of marvelous coincidences unexplainable by any rational means?</p><p>Unlike his previous books <i>HIRE POWER</i> (Putnam/Perigee 1993) and <i>Guide for the Pissed-Off Job-Seeker </i>(iUniverse 2004) <i>Just My Luck?</i> is not a how-to book. Zuckerman makes it clear that-to this date even he is not sure how it all happened.</p>
