Product Description
Product Description
To Jung, synchonicity is a meaningful coincidence in time, a psychic factor which is independant of space and time. This revolutionary concept of synchronicity both challenges and complements the physicist's classical view of casualty. It also forces is to a basic reconsideration of the meaning of chance, probability, coincidence and the singular events in our lives.

This book is very much a product of the age it was written in. Jung was describing a weird, ground breaking concept and took exceptional pains to demonstrate that a) synchroncity was real and b) he wasn't barking mad. Unfortunately the pains he took to persuade a sceptical scientific audience, for it was them he particularly wanted to convince, don't always make for an interesting read.
At least a quarter of this book gets bogged down in the tedious maths surrounding his research data. Its not remotely interesting to most people and I found myself skipping large chunks of it. On the other hand a lot of the rest of the book is very thought provoking indeed.
Many people use the word synchronicity, often incorrectly and clearly few of them have read this book. They really should. I'm glad I did.

This is a remarkable book but seems to me to get rather bogged down with facts and figures that make irksome reading. For this reason I have not given it a five star rating but the ideas that the book contains are certainly worth reading about.

Clear and open book on the co-incidence phenomena. Basic explanation on the matter where Deepak Chopra (Synchrodestiny) picks up the thread and turn theory into active design of your life.
A bit thin on forcefull examples but that could be due to the era in which it was written (1927-ish)
Fits in nicely in my growing Jung collections on views and theories on life.
Must-have together with SynchroDestiny...
