Explore Your Mind with Dr. Surprise, Feb 1 2012
By Dragon_Poet - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Synchronicity (Paperback)
You're not feeling well and something is telling you not to go to class today, yet you go anyway because there's a big test scheduled next week. The bus is late, there's a traffic jam 12 miles long, yet you still go on ignoring the inconvenient events and your sniffling nose. You reach the class room door just to discover ... the class is cancelled. Your intuition and the signs around you were right all along; you should've stayed home.
The above scenario is an all too common Synchronistic Event (SEs), often tossed away as coincidence, dumb luck, intuition, or simply a gut feeling during a specific moment in your life. Ever wondered if there was something more to them then just that? Well there is and you can find out more in Dr. Kirby Surprise's Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice, and Unlocking Your Mind.
One part science text book, one part metaphysical treatise, and two parts (non-fiction) story telling, Synchronicity is a book that will change the way you understand your own mind and the reality in which you live in. Through it, you will gain the ability to recognize your own SEs, create them, and recognize the SEs of other's around you.
This book is written in such a way that anyone could easily grasp the concepts presented by the author. As an individual with an English degree (something as far away from the scientific field as Neptune is from the sun), I can vouched for this book's accessibility. Moreover, it has changed my mind for better, and it can change yours too!
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in psychology, Jung, synchronicity, and, of course, to anyone who is interested in themselves.

The concept of synchronicity is a topic which has been interesting to people since Jung addressed it seriously,and even longer when you consider the other names by which it has gone. We psychologists tend to divide between those who "believe" and those who scoff at the idea. Dr. Surprise's wonderful book addresses synchronicity in a sophisticated and scientifically grounded way. I especialy loved his descriptions of early humans and the evolution of consciousness. Highly recommended!Adrienne Amundsen Ph.D.

Dr. Surprise has written a book that is both engaging and inspiring! From beginning to end, I found that I couldn't help but be awed by the possible power of my own mind, and crack the occasional smirk at the author's wry wit. I would recommend this to anyone who's interested in learning more on synchronicity.
