_This is not so much a review as it is a warning. If you are expecting this to be the possible second book of synchronicity stories that is mentioned at the back of the author's first collection (_Soul Moments_,1997) then you will be disappointed. This is exactly the same book, only with a different title and cover. Even the author's dedication is the same.

_Don't get me wrong, it is an exellent book on synchronicity- one of the best that I've read, but it is highly deceiving to repackage it again like this so soon. In fact, I can only assume that this was done to fool people into paying for the same book twice- I know that I did....

Coincidence Or Destiny? gathers over eighty stories of coincidence or synchronicity, gathered from the lives of both ordinary people and well-known scholars to illustrate how chance and meaningful coincidences can change lives. Syncronicities can offer sense from random events and can provide a sense of destiny and explanation: this collection of first-person insights is revealing.

This is a mixed collection of various people and their personal experience with coincidence and some with destiny. Some will have more appeal than others; but overall I was very pleased with the book. -- PSM

I'm a big fan of synchronicity and coincidence stories. Unfortunately this book was disappointing, to the point where I stopped reading it. It's mainly the tone of the writing, kind of "out there" and new-agey. If you like that kind of thing, you might enjoy this book. I don't, so won't finish it.
