@sardonicsmile True.
Only good thing you can get is to know their skill and learn it too like programming or engineering, etc...
But for this you do not need whole book.
Most of their luck come with having some skill to apply it in good opportunity.
Like Musk knew programming and worked in paypal he hold stocks and later buy tesla.
I have read only one book about person and that was Nikola Tesla.
@sardonicsmile Some people are one tricks that were lucky with random options.
Some talented people never made it or were aknowledged after death.
Another thing that happen they team up or hire people that ruin company by it stealing money or information.
