SynchroFile : Amazing Personal Encounters With Synchronicity And Other Strange Phenomena

Rating:
Summary: Quasi-interesting at best
Review: I found this book to be very tedious. The author links everyday occurances with syncronicity. Makes you wonder if he ever heard of the term COINCIDENCE. Anyway, some parts are truly interesting (about Jung), but others are really, really, boring to the point he completely lost me.

He listed coincidental "events" point-by-point, like how many times his computer, as an example, showed some "number" at the same time his wife was calling him for supper. One would think if you're going to author a book you would attempt to explain to your target audience these events beyond rehashing Jung's theories, make a point-by-point presentation, yakking about your "life" and the daily minutiae associated with it. Some strange events occurred with him and others could be explained, I think, through random chance/coincidence.

I wasn't impressed. I'm sure there are better books out there which can explain synchronicity. I bought it because I noticed that when I was buying a new car (older used - new for me), a Mercedes in fact (a particular model that is), which is quite rare. I noticed them here, there, whereever I was & worked. The gas station, supermarket, etc. They are NOT a common car. I'd walk over to get a coffee and there one was right in my face. I talked to the owner, he loved it, yada, yada, yada....my resolve was reinforced. Went to a gas station, one pulls up beside me, yada, yada, yada...more resolve. I ended up buying one. NOW, they are NOWHERE to be found and I'm ACTIVELY looking for them. Weird, no? Or what? Don't know and "Syncrofile" definitely didn't help so it looks like I'll be buying other books on the subject. My recommendation is skip this one.

BTW, I bought it on the recommendation of FATE magazine which I buy now and again. Needless to say the reviewer of this book was smoking crack or something or maybe it's one of those scenarios where every movie review you read on the back of some noname movie's cover tells you how "mesmerizing", "spellbinding" the said retard flick is whereas my dog could have done a better job of making it.
