What is the Positive Psychology of Synchronicity
Some coincidences are so uncanny, so striking and so captivating that they seem “meant to be”. This is synchronicity: the phenomenon of experiencing a striking and meaningful coincidence that connects our inner and outer world.
Chris Mackey, a clinical psychologist and the author of The Positive Psychology of Synchronicity, illustrates (drawing on his 40 years of experience in psychology and case studies) how synchronicity can act as a guide in our life path. We first discover the science of synchronicity and how the influential Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was the first to explore its meaning, its connection to our human psyche and wellbeing.
