Turns out that if you grip the lid with your left hand, the counterclockwise motion forces your hand harder into the lid which promotes grip. If you grab the lid with your right hand, the same counterclockwise motion actually works to pull your hand away, reducing grip. I have since advised a lot of people on this and few have heard the tip.

It works for me. If you have a jar or bottle with a stuck lid, try it.
I always twist my beer bottle caps off with my left hand
