The Positive Psychology of Synchronicity: Enhance Your Mental Health with the Power of Coincidence
AU$ 27.95
Do you sometimes wonder whether a coincidence can be more than just a coincidence? In The Positive Psychology of Synchronicity, clinical psychologist Chris Mackey describes many people’s experiences of coincidences. They include his clients’ and his own experiences, that seem so captivating, so striking and so uncanny that they seem “meant to be”. They seem to point to a higher organising force in the universe linking our inner and outer worlds.
Examples include a clock mysteriously stopping when its owner dies or thinking of someone you haven’t seen for years and having them call you out of the blue soon afterwards.
As the new title suggests Mackey integrates the book’s themes further with the burgeoning field of positive psychology, a science of well-being. I also wanted to spell out more fully some of the potential benefits from meaningful coincidences for mental health.
Mackey is particularly interested in the potential benefits of synchronicity to enhance mental health by boosting our PERMA. Positive psychology uses this acronym to guide us to the five core pillars of happiness. Anything that boosts our positive emotion, engagement in life roles, relationships, personal meaning and accomplishment is likely to promote our overall well-being and positive mental health. This book spells out how synchronistic experiences can help do this.
