Synchronicity: The Entrepreneur's Edge

Summary: Some coincidences defy explanation
Review: Jessika Satori has assembled an impressive set of amazing coincidences: e.g. people meeting unexpectedly who discover that each has something the other desperately needs, and that together they can achieve awesome results. Indeed, some of the coincidences are stunning. They seem so unlikely, how could one doubt that they were somehow "destined" to occur?

Nonetheless, whenever we see someone trying to explain rare events, we should remain skeptical until other explanations have been ruled out. Satori has not done so. She is so committed to her mystical explanation that she fails to consider a far simpler explanation: in a complex world where millions of people interact every minute of the day, occasional startling coincidences are bound to occur. Sure, they are mind-boggling, but they are also to be expected. Customers win at the gambling tables in Las Vegas every day, but we attribute their wins to luck, not predestination.

As an alternative to Satori's book, or perhaps to give yourself a different take on coincidence, I highly recommend Michael Shermer, Why People Believe Wierd Things.
