We all want a better world, a better life, but many people dont have the courage to take that first step. The Bond is so full of wisdom, truth, and science that it whispers to your heart and screams at your brain: Reclaim your life and create a better way to live for your sake, and your childrens, and your childrens childrens.

Marci Shimoff, author of Happy for No Reason

Lynne McTaggart has elegantly and boldly caused us to look at the world we are living in through a new set of lenses. Her truth in this book shook me to my core, inspired me in my soul and called me to action like no other book has ever done. Lynne is brilliant, and this book is a work of genius that can guide us back to ourselves and to each other.

In the heart of this design we are able to recover pathways to deep empathy, social harmony, and wholeness. You will bask in the afterglow of Lynne McTaggarts brilliantly interpreted science and in the visionary depth, moral coherence, and healing power of The Bond .

James ODea, social healing activist, former president of Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of Creative Stress: A Path for Evolving Souls Living Through Personal and Planetary Upheaval

Capably weaves [her findings] into a seemingly certain scientific case for holistic living within a cosmic Bond.

Kirkus Reviews

Her discussion of the Bond encompasses quantum physics, genetics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, astronomy, sociology, psychology, and a host of other disciplines.... [A]mple and fascinating examples of holistic, altruistic, and uplifting behaviors.

Publishers Weekly

McTaggart has done it again! The Bond is her tour de force. Everyone loves to feel love, everyone craves deep connection, but we dont always know how to live it. This simple but powerful message from the frontiers of modern science is a milestone that will appeal to the skeptic as well as the zealot. It shows us how to recover wholeness and heal our world.

Arjuna Ardagh, author of The Translucent Revolution

In The Bond , Lynne McTaggart smashes the myth that connection between people is a touchy-feely business. Using compelling stories and solidly researched data, she demonstrates in no uncertain terms that we need each other, and that our ability to thrive and perhaps even to survive depend on making this reality a fundamental organizing principle for our lives. The Bond is fascinating, inspiring, and provocative, and McTaggarts eloquence and reader-friendly style make this journey not only informative but engrossing.

Ocean Robbins, founder of YES! and author of Choices for Our Future

Lynne McTaggart has once again hit a home run for the human potential movement. The Bond is a compelling compilation of fascinating and enthralling discoveries that awaken us to the interconnectivity of all of life, woven all together in a way that inspires each of us to happily take up the task at hand: the midwifing of deeper levels of relatedness and care back into our lives and back into our world.
