What are your coincidence patterns?

Please look back over your stories and let us know!
Join me for this discussion now on the Connecting with Coincidence podcast:
Bernard Beitman, MD is also known as “Dr. Coincidence” because of his deep immersion into meaningful coincidences, synchronicity and serendipity. He is organizing the vast array of stories into common patterns. These principles will help us understand the functioning of the Global Human Mind.
Dr. Beitman is the author or editor of seven psychiatry books, recipient of two national psychiatry awards for his psychotherapy training program, and former chair of psychiatry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is the Founding Director and President of The Coincidence Project.
His first coincidence book, Connecting with Coincidence (2016) was followed by Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen (2022). His coincidence memoir, The Adventures of Dr. Coincidence: A Psychiatrist’s Life of Synchronicity and Serendipity, is in press.
