Lucid, Approachable & Comprehensive Book on Synchronicity, Sep 23 2004
By John Amenta "jamenta" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C. G. Jung's Psychology of Religion and Synchronicity (Paperback)
I found this book comprehensive and readable in regards to Jung's theories on Synchronicity/Religion - and learned more
about Jung's general concepts of psychology (such as the unconscious and individuation) through this book than many other books I have read on Jung (or even books by Jung himself).
The scholarly presentation of the book by Aziz, who spent many years preparing the work I found outstanding. The introduction of fundamental concepts, leading into other Jungian theories, backed up by examples and other psychological real-world parallels is impressive in the book.
Overall, any serious student of the great psychologist Carl Jung or student of Synchronicity/Dreams I think should waste no time ordering this book! (heh) And even the casual layman who is curious about what Jung meant by "Synchronicity" - Aziz is emminently approachable because of his clear writing style.
This book perhaps may well be the most up-to-date scholarly work on Jung that appears solidly authentic, rational, and clear-headed on Jung's very serious approach to religion - synchronicity - and the "objective" autonomous unconscious.

Jung and Synchronicity, Aug 5 2009
By silver elves "silver elves" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C. G. Jung's Psychology of Religion and Synchronicity (Paperback)
This book is a must on your shelf if you are a student of Carl Jung, or if you aspire to understand synchronicity. Along with a very clear outline of the theory of synchronicity, Aziz includes many intriguing personal stories about Jung and his experiences with the spirit world, the I-ching, and shamanism, which all help to explain the basics of his theories. These stories make an otherwise very theoretical read quite comprehensible; and you may find it as compelling as we did and very hard to put down. While in graduate school at SSU, we had a chance to teach to undergraduates a semester length class called "Jung and Synchronicity" and we used this book as the required text. The entire class rated it "thumbs up"!

Big Synchronicity Disappointment, Aug 30 2010
By Timai - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: C. G. Jung's Psychology of Religion and Synchronicity (Paperback)
I have heard much about Jung's theory of synchronicity mostly informally. I have even cited it as a theory I subscribe to over the years. This book proved to be a great disappointment by lacking any substance, significant insights, or explanations in the few areas of the book I even bothered to review. That is not to say that a complete cover-to-cover reading would result in the same conclusion, but I find little that would motivate me to explore this book cover-to-cover.
