The bond

For centuries, Western science and many Western cultures have taught us to think of ourselves as individuals. But today, a revolutionary new understanding is emerging from the laboratories of cutting-edge physicists, biologists, and psychologists: What matters is not the isolated entity, but the space between things, the relationship of things--the Bond. This book, the culmination of author Lynne McTaggart's groundbreaking work, offers a new, scientific story of life and the human experience, one that challenges the very way we conceive of ourselves and our world. She shows that the essential impulse of all life is a will to connect rather than a drive to compete. In fact, we are inescapably connected, hardwired to each other at our most elemental level. McTaggart offers detailed recommendations to help foster more holistic thinking, more cooperative relationships, and more unified social groups--a visionary plan for a new way to live in harmony.--From publisher description.
