as well. Much to his credit, he also addresses the problem with assigning major significance to minor events, and covers those who blow "mystical" occurrences out of proportion. An intriguing collection of true short stories of people's lives, this is well worth the read. Once you pick up this book, you will be compelled to continue reading it; however, you must pause at times in order to digest its powerful message. Hopcke successfully and succinctly illustrates the mosaic of our lives. Each person's life is unique and has a "plot" in which "coincidences" are intended and meaningful "accidents." Hopcke eloquently delineates what Jung termed "synchronicity" and he provides a marvelous collection of examples from real life of synchronistic events. Hopcke demonstrates that each facet of our life has meaning and is a step along the path that we must follow. Each event in our life weaves a segment in the overall tapestry of our life on this planet. By "going with the flow" and avoiding impendance to the flow, the beautiful "story" of our life will become evident. A great introduction to synchronicity. Easy to read, but not too basic. It has many great examples of real life meaningfull coincidences, with explinations in between. Well written, and not too tedious to read. It opens up your mind to look for synchronicity in your own life.
