The Bond: Connecting Through The Space Between Us (H) By Lynne McTaggartWe are always connected with others, hardwired at our most elemental level--from the quantum level to the cellular, from personal relationships to business and societal structures. This belief is at the core of Lynne McTaggart’s The Bond, the result of her extensive research with frontier scientist in prestigious centers around the world, working in physics, biology, psychology, and the other social sciences. The world essentially operates through relationships: within the space between things. The essential impulse of all of life is a will to connect.

As in The Intention Experiment, McTaggart synthesizes scientific findings into a single theory: that all matter exists in a dynamic relationship of cooperation. In addition to offering a new scientific paradigm, McTaggart offers guidelines and many inspiring case studies on living in partnership with the universe--how to relate more cooperatively, form a new model of community, and find a purpose. Rousing, timely, uplifting, and practical, The Bond offers nothing less than a new way to live in harmony with our true nature.
