Who hasn't felt that eerie coincidence, that sudden startling illumination, that occasional flash of extrasensory perception that leaves us in awe? Can we dismiss these events as random, or do they have a deeper meaning?

The Tao of Psychology offers an "Agatha Christie" approach to discovering the hidden messages in these events and finding their meaning in our lives. On a deeper level, Dr. Jean S. Bolen explores the interplay between these "meaningful coincidences" and the insight that we are part of a profound oneness with the universe. This underlying principle is known as the Tao in Eastern philosophy and as synchronicity in Jungian psychology. We observe how it manifests itself in everyday life through those "coincidences" that suggest an inner meaning that we cannot explain rationally.

Relating the concepts of Tao and synchronicity, Jean S. Bolen shows important links between psychology and mysticism, the left and right brain hemispheres, the individual and the outside world. The Tao of psychology also illuminates parapsychological research, especially the areas of precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance. Jean S. Bolen lays out these fascinating ideas with clarity and compelling power, and she uses illuminating examples to show how synchronicity works in our everyday lives.
