I was very pleased to see The Luck Illusion reviewed and featured in the August 2026 edition of Vagabond magazine.
The article was written by editor Dimana Trankova and
appeared under the title:
“The Luck Illusion: Martin Signorin takes us on an
eye-opening journey towards the true meaning of success.”
Seeing the book receive this kind of attention in Bulgaria
means a great deal to me. I have lived here since 2005, and much of the book
was written here, so having it discussed in a respected English-language
Bulgarian publication felt particularly significant.
The review looks at the book’s main concerns: success,
failure and the causes that may sit behind what we often describe as luck. I
was especially pleased that the article understood the book for what it is,
rather than treating it as another motivational or self-help title.
One part of the review reads:
“...the author explains complex discoveries in fields such
as psychology and statistics, and allows us to see Walsdos's story, and our own
narratives, with new eyes.”
That was important to me because Walsdos was created to give
the argument a human setting. His story is fictional, but the pressures,
advantages, limitations and circumstances around him are very real.
For an independent author, a review like this carries real
weight. Writing a book is mostly a solitary process. You spend months,
sometimes years, developing an idea without knowing how another person will
finally read it. When somebody understands what you were trying to do and takes
the time to discuss it properly, it means more than simple praise.
My thanks go to Dimana Trankova and the Vagabond team
for giving The Luck Illusion such thoughtful attention in the August
edition.
