A practical playbook to maximize luck in life and career
Venture capitalists manage to raise and invest trillions of dollars despite being wrong most of time through asymmetric bets - where a few big wins outsize losses by factors of 1,000x.
In The Super Upside Factor, Daniel Kang draws on his experience as a venture capitalist at Softbank Vision Fund and a Y Combinator-backed founder to adapt asymmetric principles for personal and professional life. He offers a clear framework for maximizing luck and generating outsized returns-what he calls Super Upsides. Through vivid, real-life experiments, Kang demonstrates how he put these principles into practice-from securing a book deal writing just 15 minutes a day; to recovering from a spiralling plane as a pilot; to raising millions by betting on pivotal career shift.
