PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF
Imagine you are attending a one trick magic show. As the performance ends you find yourself in a state of awe. “Now that you are dazzled,” says the magician, “I’ll either repeat the trick as often as you like, or I’ll show you how it’s done.” The choice is yours.

“Gibbs Williams has struggled with awe-inspiring coincidences in his own life and combed the relevant literature to formulate a rational psychodynamic theory of synchronicity. This book is both a personal journey and a guide for psychotherapists to harness their patients’ creative processes to liberate the sense of self from its traumatically imposed restrictions.” —Frank M. Lachmann, PhD
ABOUT THE BOOK
Demystifying Meaningful Coincidences (Synchronicities) offers an original theory of the nature of meaningful coincidences (synchronicities) and their practical use from a naturalistic (non-supernatural and non-Jungian) perspective. The findings are the outgrowth of Gibbs A. Williams’ forty-year investigation, both as a professional observer of some of his synchronicity prone patients receiving psychoanalytic psychotherapy as well as of his own intimate experience of these intellectually challenging and emotionally powerful occurrences. Williams concludes that meaningful coincidences are the surface manifestations of an individual’s unique creative process, accommodating the “best” available resolution of a problem for a person initially feeling “stuck” in a seemingly intractable dilemma.
Readers are treated to a rich mine of historical data, novel concepts, and theoretical insights drawn from speculative philosophy, depth psychology, and esoteric occult and spiritual traditions, and they are shown how to decode their own synchronicities in order to be able to use their embedded “messages” for increased self-awareness, cohesiveness, and expanding consciousness.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gibbs A. Williams, PhD, is a psychoanalyst and supervisor in private practice in New York.

I am aware these are recessionary times so the price appears steep. If you would like to read the book but can't afford it I urge you to call your local library and request they order it. Better still tell your family members, and all of your friends who might be interested in this subject to call as well. Then if any of you read the book I would very much appreciate your writing a review on Amazon and or Barnes and Noble. Thank you.

B F Skinner showed (as you know) "that the human mind seeks relationships between events and often finds them even when they are not present". (Shermer..."Why People Believe Weird Things")
Congratulations for publishing your book and good luck!
It is true that people will see what they wish to see and the reverse. However there is more to my explanation which is quite fascinating.
Jerry and Julia (J plus J) a coincidence but not a synchronicity - thanks for your support. :
