The book that inspired me

The focus of Synchronicity is not about any new psychological widget but about one single significant aspect of everyday real-life experience that most business folk encounter.

Sometimes I wonder whether it is simply because multitasking professionals encounter such moments a little more often than those leading other kinds of lives.

The core theme of the book is simple: If you don't see and allow the synchronicity that reveals the ideal pattern in the events that surround you, then you, to direct your life, are doomed to encounter pitfalls and hurdles till the plan that's been waiting to happen gets its chance to unravel.

So much of what we miss out in our everyday encounters with reality suddenly become important to notice. "Synch with the pattern" instead and you will see the world becomes an extraordinarily easier place to navigate.

Worth keeping by you, this tome of wisdom. And remember you may well be reading this because this is your moment.
