Summary: Excellent resource to understand 'Karma'
Review: This book is an edited collection of John Mumford's lectures on the subject 'Karma'. He explains this complex subject in a simple step by step way. Eventhough Karma is a common word used in India , it is not understood by most people. Dr.John Mumford spent many years of his lifetime in india and under the grace of his great Gurus he got the enlightening knowledge on the purpose of human creation and the universal laws. In this book he shares that knowledge with us. This book is an excellent resource for the souls who are in the search of truth!

Summary: Could have offered more
Review: While this book has a lot of valuable content for those seeking both to understand all about karma and change their life based on a specific Eastern philosophy, Dr. Mumford could have gone a lot further to make it more meaningful, more applicable and more valuable.The book is in two main parts. The first part explains the meaning of karma with exercises to help us be aware of the message of each section and how it relates to the reader personally. The second part is the 9-day Âgkarma clearingÂh plan, during which one should do devoid of any news or other media intrusion, eat one meal a day, not criticize, not communicate dissatisfaction, arise earlier and meditate, do something you do not want to do, do a selfless act, and observe our thoughts and actions. This will help you attune to yourself to your karma and help you understand more clearly what is important to you and what you want to do with your life. The author admits that the 9-day plan is nearly impossible to achieve, he himself only having done it once. However, karma affects us each and every day. If this book had addressed this in some depth in addition to the 9-day plan, it certainly would have earned five stars instead of three.
