Life-Changing Synchronicities: A Doctor's Journey of Coincidence and Serendipity

• Tells the author’s personal stories of unlikely coincidences, showing how synchronicity can be identified and evolve in one’s own life

• Explores how recognizing synchronicity and serendipity can help individuals find their life purpose, accelerate their spiritual and interpersonal development, and positively impact their lives

• Builds on the work of Carl Jung on the significance of synchronicity

In Life-Changing Synchronicities, pioneering psychiatrist Bernard Beitman, M.D., explores the experience and ramifications of meaningful coincidences, including how synchronistic happenings came to define his own life. Building on Carl Jung’s groundbreaking work on this phenomenon, Beitman applies new insights on coincidence, synchronicity, serendipity, and related phenomena to the contemporary age, ultimately helping readers begin to better identify patterns of synchronicity in their own lives, find deeper meaning, and more consciously align with their personal life path and goals.

The unlikely trajectory of the author’s own life reveals the strange and counterintuitive nature of synchronicity. From Wilmington, Delaware, to 1960s-era San Francisco, Beitman explores his experience with precognition and telepathy while playing high school football, his life as a psychiatric medical school student and hippie in Haight-Ashbury, and his rise to become head of psychiatry at University of Missouri-Columbia Medical School while developing The Coincidence Project. As well as providing questions for readers to reflect on, throughout the book Beitman provides additional tools to illustrate synchronicity, offering insightful comments and principles in each section to synthesize useful reflections that serve as a guide for readers’ own "coincidence diaries."
