Alternate universes exist Perfect for moviegoers who loved>17 Again, Sliding Doors, and>The Family Man, as well as the novel>Before I Fall. When plain and unpopular Annie Nutter gets zapped by one of her dad's whacked-out inventions, she lands in a parallel universe where her life becomes picture-perfect. Now she's Ayla Monroe, daughter of the same mother but a different father--and she's the gorgeous, rich queen bee of her high school. In this universe, Ayla lives in glitzy Miami instead of dreary Pittsburgh and has beaucoup bucks, courtesy of her billionaire--if usually absent--father. Her friends hit the clubs, party backstage at concerts, and take risks that are exhilirating . . . and illegal. Here she's got a date to lose her V-card with the hottest guy she's ever seen. But on the insde, Ayla is still Annie. So when she's offered the chance to leave the dream life and head home to Pittsburgh, will she take it? The choice isn't as simple as you think.

Have you ever had something unusual occur that made you say, Wow! What a coincidence! Well, the next time that happens, Howard Melamed wants you to pay attention: An opportunity is about to emerge.Throughout his life first as a student, then as an entrepreneur, and now as the CEO of a multimillion dollar company, Howard has made a study of how people generate success both personally and professionally. What he found over and over again was that successful people follow a one fundamental principle that continues to be universally true: coincidences lead to opportunity.
Howard has expanded on this unique discovery to create The Science of Opportunity a simple, straightforward, effective approach you can use to create more of what you want in your life.
Of course, following The Science of Opportunity is not a passive activity; you have to be a participant. You can liken the process to going fishing. You wouldn't just row out on a lake and hope a fish jumps in your boat. You would take along good rod and reel and the right kind of bait and look for clues as to the best spot. You look for opportunity, and when you find it, you are prepared to seize it.
Not convinced? Then turn the page and prepare to be amazed and entertained. You will find several real-life examples of ordinary people who, by allowing a coincidence to open their eyes, found the right career or financial security or true love. Howard himself has experienced this phenomenon on countless occasions, several of which he talks about in the book.
One of the best reasons to read this book, however, is to bounce along on the ebullient style with which Howard makes his case. He has created a panoply of colorful analogies to support his theory, and his writing is full of both good humor and good will. Howard has reaped the benefits of this little-known secret. By reading this book, you can too.
Welcome to The Science of Opportunity.
