Living in Flow: The Science of Synchronicity and How Your Choices Shape Your World, MORE
About This Book
Drawing insights from philosophy, psychology, literature, and theology, a longtime executive business coach explores how and why we make the decisions we do What is it that makes some of us better—or worse—than others at committing to a choice? What are the forces that hold us back, and how can we successfully overcome them? Every facet of our lives depends on the decisions we make. Yet, how often do we pause to reflect on our ability to make the best and smartest choices? The key is how we confront and refine the decision-making process. Here, Joseph Bikart explores the intricacies of decision making, challenging us to understand why we make the choices we do. He explores how the true power of decisions, especially the toughest among them, help us to face our fears and may in turn change how we think about ourselves. Breaking his study into four clear parts and short practical essays, Bikart presents a lively and compelling exploration of the process of decision making. He covers: • Indecision, Indecision: What makes us indecisive? What holds us back and why? • Where Art Thou?: How and where we get stuck and the importance of relaxing one's grip. • The Momentum of Decisiveness: Keeping our focus and proactivity. • The Deciding Mind: Making our smartest choices. Drawing from such different fields as philosophy, psychology, neurology, literature, art history and theology, The Art of Decision Making takes us on a journey from the depths of procrastination to the elation of decision making. Presenting a fresh perspective on what to do at the proverbial fork in the road, Bikart's unique philosophy is insightful, thought provoking, and potentially life-changing.
What You'll Learn
• Understand the quantum mechanical basis Nelson-Isaacs proposes for synchronicity: how the quantum probability field is shaped not only by physical forces but by the informational coherence of the observer's choices and intentions — and what experimental physics has discovered that is relevant to this claim
• Grasp the narrative coherence model: how living in alignment with one's deepest values and authentic self creates a pattern of choices that increasingly 'fits' with meaningful events in the environment — and why this fit appears as synchronicity rather than as simple cause and effect
• Recognise the distinction Nelson-Isaacs maintains between legitimate synchronicity research and the unjustified claims of manifestation culture: where the scientific evidence ends, what the responsible claims are, and what cannot currently be supported by the available evidence
• Learn the practical implications of the flow framework: how deliberately aligning one's actions with one's authentic values and creative expression increases the frequency of supportive synchronicities — and how to cultivate the quality of attention and choice that keeps one in this aligned state
• Appreciate the integration of personal growth and physics: how the scientific framework Nelson-Isaacs develops changes the experience of synchronicity from a mysterious anomaly to be marvelled at into an expected feature of a life lived in genuine alignment with one's own deepest nature
