An excellent long read via Scientific American: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/the-role-of-luck-in-life-success-is-far-greater-than-we-realized/

It should be noted that while I don't question the research or the results I don't view it as an "enabling" worldview - I generally prefer to take agency for ones actions and outcomes, but that is an "outlook" and the article deals with facts.
