"Luck Is No Accident" - Q&A Session

The "Luck Is No Accident" book has radical advice
Dr. John D. Krumboltz and Dr. Al S. Levin tell us - in their book "Luck Is No Accident" - that we must "make the most of happenstance in our life and career."

In this video - taken at the Association of Computer-based Systems for Career Information (ACSCI) (www.acsci.org) 2007 conference in Las Vegas - Dr. Krumboltz answers a few questions about the radical advice offered in the book.
