Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice, and Unlocking Your Mind Paperback – February 22, 2012
Purchase options and add-ons
The experience of meaningful coincidences is universal. They are reported by people of every culture, every belief system, and every time period. Synchronicity examines the evidence for the human influence on the meaningfulness of events, and the way the modern computational model of the mind predicts how we create meaning.
It demonstrates that these events, based on the activity of the mind, are caused by the person who perceives them.
In this fascinating work, you will:
- Learn to use your amazing ability to create synchronistic events
- Discover how your mind creates the reality you experience
- Unlock your brain's vast resources of connectivity and creativity
- Change from living as a separate being to living as a part of the unified whole
Learn to make reality dance to the rhythms of your thoughts.

Editorial Reviews
Review
--Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, professor of psychology and medicine, The University of Arizona, and author of The Sacred Promise
"An interesting mix of mythology, neuroscience, and common sense, this book takes a serious, but light-hearted look at the way synchronicity works and the degree to which it can be controlled. Going well beyond the ideas of Jung, synchronicity's discoverer, psychotherapist Surprise draws on anthropology, String Theory, and Walt Disney to make the case that our internal states do effect external events...."
--Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer

I was enjoying this book very much. cruising through chapter seven (The Big Picture) as he was building on various scientific theories. I just finished his Flatlanders and the Cone example, when after he introduced the Archetypes and Thoughtforms, he let me have it.
My own thoughts causes SE effects around me.
It is not like he haven't been telling me this all along, but it wasn't until this moment that the thought finally sank in. Adding String Theory, and M- and N- Space, didn't help his case, in my view. Frankly, it sounded a bit like a psychic using quantum physics to explain how psychic powers work.
However, chapter 9 (Mystical Mumbo Gumbo) was comforting. He wasn't out to explain SEs, but to present a possible explanation to the synchronicity phenomenon that might exist just outside our universe. By the way, I happen to agree with his examples of the Pastafarians and the priests of science, so I opened my mind to the possibility. But just wide enough.
The last chapter, Practical Magic, is the perfect way to finish this book. However, if this is the only chapter that you read, it would have been unproductive. I agree with Kirby's quote:
"Reading the book is causing explosions of SEs around the readers, as intended."
After I finished this book, I have been noticing more SEs myself, and I haven't even played the seven games in the last chapter. I'll keep all his advices in mind, specially this one:
"Don't believe the game you create."
a revelation and an eye opener...One of the things Dr. Surprise says in his book, "Synchronicity," is how to create a "thought form" that will manifest for some people to see by visualizing or looking at a picture for 20 minutes a day of the thing you want to appear in your life....This technique was taught by Ernest Holmes and the Unity Church more than 50 years ago....Call it the "Law of Attraction," or "Creative Visualization," which is what this technique is more known by today....What ever you want to call it, be it "prayer," or "magnetic mind dynamics", it works.....Just read Dr. Surprise's book for the confirmation of this....His explanation of how the mind works producing this phenomenon of synchronicity is pure genius and he has probably discovered things about this that not even Dr. Carl Jung, who discovered it, was aware of, as Dr. Surprise explains....Dr. Surprise's book answered for me how it was possible for my father to pick up a ringing phone in New York's Grand Central Station and hear some guy ask if a person with my father's first and last name was there....The odds of this happening is astronomical, to say the least...It was later learned by my father that
there was a flower store in the neighborhood where this guy worked (the guy with my father's name) and the caller had dialed the wrong number.....Any one reading Dr. Surprise's book will be enlightened as if he had a master guru teacher before him or the Dalai Lama......"Synchronicity" will change the way you think for the better and answer a lot of questions that people have asked about why these strange things known as "synchronicities' happen.
