I have only read that first one :-). It was recommended to me by a mystical member of the spiritual staff of an otherwise traditional 12-step rehab I checked myself into in 2012. I'm sure you and I have the same understanding of "by chance." I'm pleased you didn't say "no mere coincidence" as 99/100 do because they do not understand that coincidence means cause and effect, just often not apparent to our eyes or understanding of logic. The other book recommended me that day was Craig Bell's Comprehending Coincidence, Synchronicity and Personal Transformation.
