About this title

From the Author:

Synchronicity
As befitting a book about synchronicity, from its inception this book (and my becoming an author) came about through a series of synchronistic circumstances. which brought me together with my editor. The Tao of Psychology was published in 1979, and went out into the world without publicity or marketing efforts, which was typical for a first-time author, minimal print-run book. Readers then wrote to me of the uncanny timing and coincidences that led them to read it. Whether by word of mouth, or by synchronicity, I am delighted that it is still in print, some twenty years later, and am glad that it now has a Mark Rothko painting on its cover, besides. Synchronistic events in my own life played a significant part in the events that I wrote of in Crossing to Avalon: A Woman's Midlife Pilgrimage. They also contributed to the writing of Close to the Bone: Life-Threatening Illness and the Search for Meaning.

Synopsis:

Examines coincidental events that individuals find significant, but which cannot be rationally explained, suggesting ways of using the resulting feelings of universal unity in Jungian therapies and Taoist introspection.
