A book which will make you think

This book will forever be linked in my mind with the Police album, just like Lolita links with "Don't Stand So Close To Me." One of the things I like most about this book is that it is easy to read and not intimidating. For starters, it's not very long and the language is not challenging. Jung uses a lot of interesting stories to explain his theories of synchronicity, when unrelated things seem to happen together at the same time with a purpose. The first time I read this book, I found that while I was reading it, I would experience synchronicity. For instance, I was reading it on my lunch break from work and I ran into one of my coworkers that I had a crush on. Maybe that's just a coincidence, but maybe there are greater forces at work. I would say that if you are intimidated by reading huge books by Jung, this is a good book to get started with, and it will definitely give you something about which to think.

"If you dig deep enough, you find truth"

Jung included the comment that the 'natural numbers' appear to be a tangible connection between the spheres of matter and psyche...In other words - number is pre-existent to consciousness, and forms the basis for everything in the universe...As he indicates; "Since the remotest times people have used number to establish meaningful coincidences, that is, coincidences that can be interpreted"...In that respect, the following verification may be of some interest.

Synchronicity

I read this book as a free-reading experience and although you may ask why it is becaue books like this are interesting to me at 16 years old. Although I thought it was a bit difficult and there were a lot of terms I didn't know, I still understood most of what C.G. Jung was trying to say. If you decide to read this book I suggest keeping a dictionary nearby or at least have some prior knowledge to many different pyschological terms. Not a lot of the things he said can be proven currently with our current technology but that doesn't mean this book won't provide interesting insight into the world of psychology.

theoretically vital but badly written

Jung's work on the acausal operations of synchronicity (meaningful coincidence) took his work far afield and opened up implications even in physics. Essential but hard to get through.
