A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of 'karma' that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the internationally bestselling author and world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru.

What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins—the mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior.

In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.

'At last, a book about karma that can be trusted. I have never found a book that explains - and solves - the mystery of karma with the simplicity, clarity and hopefulness of this invaluable book.'

Deepak Chopra

'KARMA is a thoughtful and life-affirming reminder of our vast capacity to effect positive change in our own life and in the lives of others. A must-read for anyone feeling stuck and hopeless.'

Tony Robbins

With KARMA, Sadhguru explores both the limitations and possibilities of human existence. It is full of valuable insights to guide you to live a life of fulfilment and well-being.

Will Smith

The words in this book are the key to unlocking your truth, to see with no eyes, to hear the truth that lies in silence and to not connect with your inner wisdom.

HRH Princess Noor Bint Asem of Jordan

Forget what you think you know about karma - Sadhguru shows us it's not a punishment for bad behaviour, but a vehicle for transformation and empowerment. This book will put you back in charge of your own life.
