The Three "Only" Things
This Book is Currently in the Wild!

I don't really ready self-improvement books, but this one came across my desk. Not that I am perfect, far from it (Count all the typos in these posts!, but I don't really read these. However, this one came across my desk.
Moss's basic premise is that dreams and coincidence are far from just that. Ever had an eerie prescient dream and had it actual happen. Or be thinking about someone and then bumping into them later that day. Moss says we should pay attention to his cues and help them guide our lives. A dream I just had where my pet guinea pig crawled down a hole with some skunks might tell me that I need to pay more attention to him or buy him a bigger cage. Moss doesn't tell us how to interpret all these signal, just that we should.
He actively avoids the new-age label and has plenty of neat anecdotal evidence about his and his student experiences tapping into the signals. One issue I had with his argument is that literally everything is a potential signal. Moss finds this empowering, but I find it overwhelming. How can we pick the real signals from the collective conscious from just the mundane stuff? He doesn't provide an answer.
The later chapter, about imagination, is weak compared to the first two. I feel he could have incorporated that concept into the first two of imagination and coincidence. He has some exercises you can try to harness your dreams (like having a dream journal or scanning for signals in a predetermined amount of time , like a morning commute), which are fun to try. That is my overall opinion of the book. It is fun and interesting, but overwhelming to follow, pardon the pun, by the book.
Peace!
