Filled with everything you need to live a luckier life, Luck: The Essential Guide is here with information, advice, or if you just have to knock on wood. Authors Deborah Aaronson and Kevin Kwan uncover centuries of bizarre charms.
The Society for Fortuitous Events explores rituals from Roman coin-tossing to Japanese Daruma dolls. The handbook also surveys kitchen superstitions, noting why tossing spilled salt over the left shoulder allegedly blinds the devil.
Worldwide traditions supply practical remedies for daily mishaps.

- Feng Shui and Home Traditions: Discover room-by-room guidelines for cultivating fortunate spaces, including why to keep knives hidden in drawers and how hanging a mirror reflects dining table abundance.
- Historic Travel Destinations: Tour famed landmarks imbued with auspicious legends, such as rubbing the bronze snout of Florence’s Il Porcellino or kissing the Blarney Stone in County Cork.
- Casino and Gaming Lore: Learn the idiosyncratic superstitions of high rollers, from sitting astride a chair at the card table to never gambling with a two-dollar bill.
