I would have given this book 6 stars if I could! This book is a must on your shelf if you are a student of Carl Jung, or if you aspire to understand synchronicity. Along with a very clear outline of the theory of synchronicity, Aziz includes many intriguing personal stories about Jung and his experiences with the spirit world, the I-ching, and shamanism, which all help to explain the basics of his theories. These stories make an otherwise very theoretical read quite comprehensible; and you may find it as compelling as I did and very hard to put down. While in graduate school at SSU, I had a chance to teach to undergraduates a semester length class called "Jung and Synchronicity" and I used this book as the required text. The entire class rated it "thumbs up"!

Not the most friendly book about Jung’s work if you like to read psychology for fun as it contained a lot of jargon that I had to reread a bunch of times before moving on to the next part. The concept of synchronicity is fascinating, but also scary.
