In THE POWER OF COINCIDENCE, psychologist David Richo explains how meaningful coincidences and surprising connections occur all the time, yet we often ignore them, failing to appreciate how they can have a positive effect on our lives. Drawing on Jung’s concept of synchronicity--and combining insights from psychology, religion, and poetry--THE POWER OF COINCIDENCE explores how meaningful coincidences operate in our daily lives, in dreams, in relationships, and in our creative endeavors.

Written with Richo’s signature enthusiasm and clarity, THE POWER OF COINCIDENCE will show students how to: interpret a series of similar happenings; understand how dreams can explain life events; and be more creative when making key decisions.
