Seth StephensDavidowitz, economist and New York Times bestselling author of Everybody LiesWhats the secret to scoring a reservation at a hot new restaurant? When should you enter a lottery to increase your odds of winning? Why did your neighbors kid get into a nearby preschool while yours didnt? Who gets priority for a lifesaving organ donation?These outcomes are not a matter of luck. Instead, they depend on how we navigate hidden markets that arise to decide who gets what when many of us want something and there isnt enough to go around. Every day we play in these markets, yet few of us fully understand how they work.In familiar markets, what we get depends on how much were willing to pay.

Now, he reveals the secrets of how they work, and how to maneuver in them. Whether you want to snag a coveted ticket, secure a spot in an oversubscribed college course, get better matches in the dating and job markets, do your fair share of the household chores (but no more), or more efficiently allocate your time and attention, this mustread guide will show you how to get Lucky by Design.
