As a top writer on Psychology and Philosophy on Medium.com, synchronicity has profoundly impacted Som Dutt's intellectual, personal journey to perceive the interconnectedness of unrelated events, offering a richer and more nuanced understanding of the human experience.He is convinced that these synchronistic events bridge the gap between the subjective inner world and the objective external reality, providing us with profound insights and personal growth. These archetypal patterns, deeply embedded in the collective unconscious, shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors when an individual's inner psychic state resonates with an external event, resulting in a meaningful connection.These connections can manifest as dreams, symbols, and even encounters with specific individuals. By recognizing and engaging with synchronistic events, individuals can gain valuable insights into their unconscious desires, unresolved conflicts, and untapped potentials. Such experiences act as guideposts along the path of self-discovery and deepening our connection with the broader fabric of existence.

An intimate and evocative memoir one woman's experience with the universality of grief and the redemptive power of love as she endures her husband's 84-day battle with lung cancer.When Stephanie Catudal met Tommy (Rivs), a professional endurance athlete, she thought that the love, stability, and warmth she shared with her husband had finally dispelled her pent-up anger and grief over the loss of her father and her faith. But when Rivs became ill and was put into coma at the height of the pandemic, the painful memories of her childhood?watching her father die of cancer?came flooding back.Written with lush lyricism, Steph's account of how this crisis forced her to confront her past is raw, illuminating, and heartbreaking: her father's death that wrecked her faith in God and jumpstarted a decade of rebellion, including running away from home and living out of a van at age 16, struggling with alcoholism, and delving into the world of psychedelics to ease her pain. Sitting by Rivs's bedside, she grappled with the memories of the past and the uncertainties of the future while reckoning with the unknowns of her husband's illness. Rivs would endure a grueling 84 days in a medically induced coma, eventually undergoing chemo for the same illness that stole her father. Then, a medical miracle?Rivs emerged from his coma, regained his strength, and remains in full remission today.Like Cheryl Strayed's Wild, and Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart, Everything All At Once is a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting reflection on resilience and a powerful reminder that we can find healing no matter how broken we are.
