I received this book as part of my teacher training for the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga (that I never finished) and it blew my mind!

I can't really explain it, this is another book by Deepak Chopra that one has to experience first-hand.

My words alone will fail to convey the information contained within.

Lightworkers, massage therapists and meditators should all read this.

Un libro que tenemos que leer a menudo y sin apuros. Los “milagros” ocurren diariamente y si aprendes a tomar conciencia de ellos descubrirás que en tu reino interior hay un enorme e incalculable potencial que pudieras explotar al máximo para disfrutar una vida feliz y completa. Muy recomendado.

Loved this. I really enjoy Deepak's mix of science and spirituality. This book is about the magic of coincidences and how they are whisperings from the universe. There's also a programme on tapping into the forces behind synchronicity to get a little help with your own destiny. Quick, easy and enjoyable read.

There are two or three ideas that I consider interesting from a holistic point of view. Synchronicity as the core energy that moves the Universe, humankind as part of a complex system that is already defined and the encouragement of meditation as the means to connect with that universal self.
However, I found this book to be very cheesy and lacking fundament to most of the things he states. I picked it because I wanted to read more about the enhancement of spirituality, but this kind of reading just wasn't serious to me. Probably because it addresses the reader as 'here is the magic potion that will solve all the problems you have'.
It is definitely not a book for skeptical people, the few empiric facts are very vague, but if you can get rid of all the rubbish, the main concept is at least an interesting point of view.

Este libro aunque es algo complejo me pareció muy interesante. Creo que vale la pena ser leído y no tan sólo una vez para así entenderlo todo muy bien, para poner en práctica el sincrodestino a través de las herramientas que nos dá el autor.

aisha_aldossariالتناغم القدري للدكتور ديباك شوبرا ، تجمعت كثير آراء واقاويل حول هالكتاب بأنه يشبه كتاب "السر" الي يختص بعلم الطاقة وكيفية الجذب. وبكل صراحة كتاب السر بنظري كتاب تجاري وماقدم لي المعلومات والشرح العميق نفس الي قدمه د.ديباك في كتابه التناغم القدري. هالكتاب يتكلم عن التناغم الي يصير بالكون.. تتخيل انك تراقب كل شي كل شي يصير بالكون في اللحظة نفسها! كم عملية تتم وشلون الكون كله يتناغم عشان يحقق "قصد" معين.. تكلم كثير عن القصد وعن ان المصادفةزغير موجودة ابدا وان كل النتايج الي نحصلها في الحياة ماهي الا نتيجة لهالتناغم الكوني. اكثر شي لفت نظري اهو شلون دخلني الكتاب لعالم الفيزياء وفعلاً قعدت بالايام اتأمل كل شي حولي. وهاذي هدف الكاتب اصلا ( انك تتامل). الكتاب يتكون من جزئين: الجزء الأول تناول شرح عن المستويات الوجود الثلاث (المادة، العقل والروح) / التناغم في الطبيعة / طبيعة الروح/ القصد/ دور المصادفة/ أعاجيب الدنيا/ صدفة الكون/ الانتباه والنية/ تعزيز الصدفة/ الرغبات . ٢. الجزء الثاني من الكتاب تكلم عن مبادئ التناغم القدري السبعة ودروس لتطبيق هذه المبادئ لتحرير قدرتنا الكامنة الي نجهلها. الكتاب جدا جدا عميق وفعلا كمية الاستفادة منه ماقدر اوصفها في هالسطور

This audio book is one of the most important I have encountered since embarking on my spiritual journey.

Deepak speaks very simply and logically.

There is science, mysticism, psychology, and some short meditative exercises to try.

I will listen to this over and over again.

Highly recommended

In the first half of the book, Deepak tries so hard to convince the reader about the validity of spirituality by giving lots of interesting scientific theorems to backup spiritual concepts. I guess it might have appealed to skeptical people who are trying to get spiritual.

If you are a spiritual person already who doesn't need explanations or scientific theorems to back up spirituality, the first half of the book might appear to be beating around the bush.

The first half of the book pretty much sums up to what Ramya Krishnan (yeah! the diverse actress who played 'Nelambari' in Padayappa, 'Maggie' in Panchathanthiram and 'Raja Madha' in Bahubali) once said in the talk show 'Kofee with DD'(https://www.hotstar.com/tv/anbudan-dd... - towards the end she says)

"Be open. Open to absorb what the energy, the positive energies give you. That itself will take you in the right direction."

I must say Ramya Krishnan did a better job in conveying this message than Deepak in his first half of this book.

The second half was pretty fun and interesting. In the second half Deepak quotes from Vedas and Vedantas with brief explanations and some exercises to try upon so that we might hopefully experience and understand them better and have fun.

In one of the exercises Deepak asks us to pick three archetypal mythical characters with whom we could relate ourselves the most. Deepak quotes many Greek mythical characters in this exercise and I knew none of the them. All the mythical characters I have known so far are from the east.So I decided to venture into Greek Mythology and gave Stephen Fry's 'Mythos' a try, which turned out to be a hilarious book.

See, Synchrodestiny in action -> For a long time now I have been looking for books that makes me laugh. Even though I had the book 'Mythos' with me for months, the book Synchrodestiny was one among the main reasons for me to pick 'Mythos' which ended up being a book that made me laugh.

Haha... Anyways, for this book I would give 3.75/5

I am only part way through this book, but having experienced some real turning points in my life which revolved around a flurry of coincidences that really steered me in the best direction, I would have to say that the subject definitely interests me! So far, I think it is very well written, both inspiring and informative with aspirational text as well as some very interesting 'quantum' science ideas being explored.

What is Quantum Physics? Well in a way Deepak sums that up with one example: Fish and birds move in unison too fast for it to be a thought process. The argument is that there is a higher level of consciousness that is part of us all and which organises not only such movements, but also our life experiences. Therefore, life becomes a matter of recognising our own most harmonious movements as signposted by meaningful 'coincidences'.

Fascinating!

Whether the method works or not is a matter to discussed about years after from now. However, what needs to be said is about the feverish sincerity with which Mr. Chopra has gone about priming the reader towards the finale. The finale being the actual method which is just about 20% of the total book, however, Mr Chopra unashamedly goes about the first 80% of the book setting us up for it right from the level of electrons and atoms (in that order).

When someone takes so much time priming you for the actual message, I guess the prerogative is on the reader to ensure the method gets a try if not a sincere following.

Try it, it may not be as magical an experience as the author promises it to be but an option nevertheless for a weary soul to try and use it as a crutch.

Best of luck!

A profound book that urges us to re-look at our 'self', the coincidences that come our way and the possibility of creating 'miracles'. It provides a clear explanation of soul and our interconnectedness. It is an action book that does not stop at theorizing but makes specific suggestions on how to lead one's life for complete fulfillment. It shows how the power of meditation and nurturing relationships leads to a self-actualized existence.

Scintifically explains why synchronicity takes place, and suggests the reader some exercises to increase the chances of probabilities for what we want to encounter in life. Through reading this book, one can understand that what sometimes people call "coincidence" is nothing but. It is a continuity of events, all combined in order for such events to take place, at the right time, with the right people.

Quite interesting.

After going thru the book I am able to understand the mystry of the life book . Everyday I am thrilled to harness the coincidences to decode the power within . I did few exercise with my past events by plotting the co-incidences and the flashpoint that I experienced. Its simply AMAZING!

Sincro Destino es un libro que si llega a ti es por un propósito más allá del simple hecho de leer otro libro. Este llegó a mi mano y desde que inicié a leerlo me conecté con las palabras y el significado de las mismas. Me dije ¡wao! pero es lo mismo que me ocurre a mí, no sabía eso tenía una explicación, pues si la tiene.

Los milagros, los sueños y los deseos se cumplen cuando de manera ordenada pensamos y proyectamos los pensamientos a eso que anhelamos, a eso que sabemos hará nuestra vida más feliz.

Con Sincro Destino también aprenderás a cultivar el arte de meditar para de esa manera centrar tu cerebro a que sepa ocuparse inteligentemente de atraer aquello que tanto deseas ocurra en tu vida.
Este libro es sin desperdicios. Lectura que se debe volver a realizar para internalizar aquellas cosas que por el va y ven del momento se nos pueda escapar.

The idea behind this book is that we live in a world where there are so called coincidences, although in the end these coincidences are more like signs that could lead us to a certain path if we only pay attention to those signs. There are some meditation exercises to become more aware of these signs. The only problem I had with this book is that it focuses more on obtaining and getting results out of these exercises instead of enjoying the ride of life without expecting any desired outcomes. In the end, I believe that’s the goal of real meditation. The only desire we should have is to desire nothing.

It's interesting how certain books catch certain moods and times in your life and "synchronise". This is one of them, for me, and the thoughts around coincidence and mindfulness are very powerful when combined. The beginning chapters on quantum theory were fascinating in the sense that I have recently made similar connections around these broader possibilities and significance following a lot of listening and reading of quantum physics. Albeit, Sam Harris debates Chopra on this topic and does not subscribe to the local and non local ideas described by Chopra, especially in relation to consciousness, a topic that Harris is particularly well versed on.

This is one of those books that can change lives. It changed mine.

This was the second book I read of Deepak, and I now have the urge to tell everyone to give it a try and start reading it.

Coincidences happen everyday in our lives. This book teaches us how to start seeing them and how can we understand the meaning this coincidences have for us, (only the mind that notice the coincidence can find the meaning behind it).

If you are looking for answers in your life, or if you are searching a way to connect to the infinite, this is definitely one of the first books I would try.

Probably the first book I read in Spanish cover to cover with the aim to understand the whole of the text. It helps that I have read it before in English, and many other similar books, but still a good learning experience. And I must have looked up 200-300 words during reading it for the meaning of them, so it has been a good way to build up some more vocabulary in Spanish also, as well as appreciating once again the content of these ideas regarding synchronicity and how events tend to come together when you are on the right track spiritually in life.

I loved this book, it’s full of information about creating more synchronicities in your life? How to recognise them and trust them to help fulfil your destiny. It’s about how to live a magical life through the power of synchronicity and Universal laws. It’s about living life through universal laws and truths and learning to become truly happy within yourself. There are also plenty of exercises and things to think about and relate to your own life to help you on your path.

This is very much in alignment with The Secret - by Rhonda Brynes. An interesting read that may spark magic in you if you seriously read it. Every event is connected to next if you carefully notice. Those who don't believe in Synchrodestiny may call it craziness and those who do believe will enjoy this piece of work by Deepak.

I normally give 3-5 stars to every book but I honestly didn’t like this one , I just wanted to finish it to give my honest review and even tho I’m a huge fan of law of attraction, the universe , etc I’m not a fan of this book and the concepts are so hard to read and to understand in general.
Wouldn’t read it again.

Very interesting book. Though I got a feeling that there is an abundance of "methods" as is common in the field of self-help, the book has many good ideas. Deepak Chopra is very skilled at linking the spiritual with cutting edge physics.

I will come back to this book time and time again. It was a huge reminder to me to step back and watch what life is presenting to me. I cannot recommend this book enough to those seeking to understand life that little bit more.
