Karma: A Yogi's Guide to Creating Your Own Destiny: A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny

Product Information

Realize that your world is only a reflection of yourself and stop finding fault with the reflection. Attend to yourself, set yourself right; mentally and emotionally. The physical self will follow automatically. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Prudence was so immature and selfish. She was narrow-minded and self-righteous. And yes, this is all part of her character arc and growth but I couldn't help but roll my eyes every time she acted like she was superior to all those around her. In fact, I'm not entirely convinced that her superiority complex is fully gone by the end of the story. In the above example, the law of growth asks you to consider that reacting angrily will not change the situation that prompted the response. In fact, it will likely make it worse. The law of responsibility says that all events that result from the negative reaction are your sole responsibility. 6. The Law Of Connection But, it's a little bit deeper than that. The law of creation posits that the things that are going on in the inside are reflected on the outside. For example, if you are surrounded by negatively, there is negativity within you. If you are surrounded by love, there is love within you. 2. The Law Of Creation

We then follow Pru over her summer as she sort of comes together with Quint in ways that she never expected. Pru is trying to convince Quint to redo their science project with her, but he’s not feeling it. At least not until she offers to help out at the Fortuna Beach Sea Animal Rescue Center his mom runs. He thinks she won’t do it, but he doesn’t realize, Pru will do anything for the grade, even spend her summer smelling like fish! It doesn’t hurt that she seems to have acquired some sort of karmic magic that she can wield at the squeeze of a hand.The publisher says: “Told in his inimitable style, Karma tells the story of the charismatic frontman – the drama, the music, his journey of addiction and recovery, surviving prison, meeting legends like David Bowie, Prince and Madonna, and the highs and lows of a life lived in the spotlight and in the headlines. Mindfulness is at the heart of attracting good karma. Learning to focus your intentions in the right direction is the first step in manifesting. In the words of Tony Robbins, "your life is controlled by what you focus on." 8. The Law Of Giving And Hospitality

After Pru grew on me, my attention focused on other aspects I found confusing and problematic. Firstly, if the karma element had been deleted could the story have been much the same? The answer is yes. Did the karma element add anything to the story? I would argue that no it did not. In my opinion it was weird and unnecessary. This story has all the elements to amaze or at least entertain. The author is great judging by her other works, the protagonist is semi-relatable (or at least I thought she would be in the beginning) and it includes enemies-to-lovers, and don't even get me started on this trope because I love it with a passion. Unfortunately though, all of these elements combined resulted in a boring, predictable, chemistry-less (let's pretend that's a word) book that I did not enjoy. The books on karma have a single purpose: to promote a philosophy of life that allows us to become our best version and live life to the fullest.

This felt too generic for me, but I feel like I would've loved this book if it came out around 2016/17 when my love for ya books started to bloom. I think it’s smart that Meyer introduces us to these two from Pru’s biased perspective. It really lends to the way we eventually get to know Quint. Reluctantly (haha) through Pru’s eyes. I thought that this was a great YA love story. Their friendship is non-existent at first, more enemies than anything, then grows to more over time. Pru has flaws. She isn’t a perfect bubbly character. I appreciated that because don’t we all have moments of selfishness or poor decision making? I think sometimes in fiction we expect characters to be without fault, and I liked that our lead had faults and had to recognize and grow out of them. Quint also has his flaws, even though they aren’t really as extensive as Pru once assumed. I like that these two got to know each other on a deeper level, and sort of learned that they were more than the people they were in science. This delightfully refreshing, Beatles-infused Rom-Com is full of whimsy, romance, and life lessons.
