STORM, L. A New Approach to Synchronicity: A Re-Appraisal of Jung's Acausal Connecting Principle with a Focus on Psi. Routledge. 2024. Pp. 296. Pbk. £35.99.
Revisiting C. G. Jung's Theory of Synchronicity, the author seeks to understand it in relation to the phenomena of extra-sensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK), collectively known as “psi”. Storm challenges traditional views by arguing that psi is a form of synchronicity, as Jung anticipated.
