A paper version of tuning across a shortwave band pausing for 5 seconds at each station where every presenter is talking absolute bollocks。 Made it to page 40 before the pointless jumping from one thing to another induced vomit。 DNF

A Life Changing View of Reality I’m going to re-read it。 Start to finish immediately。 Partly because Instant Karma presents a view of reality that feels more reassuring than the daily news， but also for the teachings。 Putting the principles and practices into personal narratives has greatly clarified them。 I want everyone to read this。 It’s a life changing view of personal reality。 I highly recommend it。

Very good！ Halfway through。 Loving this book。 It makes you think about your choices and actions as more consequential than you ever thought！

I was privileged to get an ARC -- however， after the first few pages， I KNEW this was the perfect next book for our Book Circle。 Sorry David， you'll have to wait for my review - I bought the paperback and tomorrow （11/22） our group will be reading this book。 I have read everything else you've written and KNOW this will be as good or better！ Thank you for your writings！ I was privileged to get an ARC -- however， after the first few pages， I KNEW this was the perfect next book for our Book Circle。 Sorry David， you'll have to wait for my review - I bought the paperback and tomorrow （11/22） our group will be reading this book。 I have read everything else you've written and KNOW this will be as good or better！ Thank you for your writings！ 。。。more

Brilliant！ Hot off the press and I couldn't put it down。 I admire David Michie so much for his skillful， sensitive and beautifully crafted fiction （as well as his non-fiction Buddhist-centric books）， and this book rises to the top of my enthusiasm。 What if。。。。 Karma became instant？ ！ :） I highly recommend it！ Brilliant！ Hot off the press and I couldn't put it down。 I admire David Michie so much for his skillful， sensitive and beautifully crafted fiction （as well as his non-fiction Buddhist-centric books）， and this book rises to the top of my enthusiasm。 What if。。。。 Karma became instant？ ！ :） I highly recommend it！ 。。。more

David Michie has written a whole book about and provided much more insight into an issue I've thought about a lot。 It's always bugged me that we have to wait sometimes several lifetimes for karmic results to show up & then we don't even remember what the original cause was。 Because that's how it was designed。 Phooey。Solution: Instant karma， where cause and effect are clearly related。 While we now occasionally have instant - or at least fast - karmic results， it's not guaranteed。 In David Michie' David Michie has written a whole book about and provided much more insight into an issue I've thought about a lot。 It's always bugged me that we have to wait sometimes several lifetimes for karmic results to show up & then we don't even remember what the original cause was。 Because that's how it was designed。 Phooey。Solution: Instant karma， where cause and effect are clearly related。 While we now occasionally have instant - or at least fast - karmic results， it's not guaranteed。 In David Michie's book it *is* guaranteed: The righteous are rewarded and the not-so-righteous get their comeuppance in mostly real time。This is a fine read， where we learn from the lighthearted wisdom of Lama Tashi。 Highly recommended。[full disclosure: i didn't actually read the paperback， i read the ePub edition， but that's not one of the canned options。 there ARE other eboox readers out there besides Kindle。] 。。。more

I received an advance copy of a David Michie’s new book “Instant Karma: The Day It Happened"。 I was immediately drawn in。 He paints a picture so well with his words that I feel like a fly on the wall。 This book will challenge your thinking。 I received an advance copy of a David Michie’s new book “Instant Karma: The Day It Happened"。 I was immediately drawn in。 He paints a picture so well with his words that I feel like a fly on the wall。 This book will challenge your thinking。 。。。more

I was privileged to receive an Advance Readers’ copy of Instant Karma。 Loving everything that David has written， I dove in immediately to this book and finished it over two days。 While a work a fiction， David opens his soul in this book to his beliefs and hopes for the world。 What if we were all a bit kinder to each other and to creation？ What if we realized that anger and hatred make us ugly and harm the world？ What if we lived in a place of abundance and generosity？ What if we slowed down and I was privileged to receive an Advance Readers’ copy of Instant Karma。 Loving everything that David has written， I dove in immediately to this book and finished it over two days。 While a work a fiction， David opens his soul in this book to his beliefs and hopes for the world。 What if we were all a bit kinder to each other and to creation？ What if we realized that anger and hatred make us ugly and harm the world？ What if we lived in a place of abundance and generosity？ What if we slowed down and realized the consequences of our actions？ Instant Karma provides us with answers to these questions in each page。 The characters show us the way – how can we move from darkness to light and stay there even when being pulled back into greed and negativity？ I will be re-reading this piece of fiction as I remind myself how best to show up in the world。 This is a brilliant book。 Like all of David’s work， it is best to read this book in a quiet space where you can take in the wisdom that is offered from Lama Tashi and the other characters， and indeed from David himself。 Buy a copy now！ Give it to your friends！ And imagine a world where we all understood karma and lived in generosity and love。 And then perhaps start practicing living in positive karma！ Join the movement！ Live abundantly！ Care for others and for the world。 Thank you， David， for this inspiring and quick-paced piece。 。。。more

Suppose that everyone suddenly got what they deserved， good or bad？ Suppose you could change your outcome just as quickly？ That is the basis of this novel。 The book explains karma according to Tibetan Buddhism very well， as we would expect from Michie。 Having karma blossom all around the world in one fell swoop is pretty enlightening， not to mention entertaining。 The author is not kind to gun owners which， as a target shooter， hurts a little bit， but I get it。 Somehow the book feels a bit unfini Suppose that everyone suddenly got what they deserved， good or bad？ Suppose you could change your outcome just as quickly？ That is the basis of this novel。 The book explains karma according to Tibetan Buddhism very well， as we would expect from Michie。 Having karma blossom all around the world in one fell swoop is pretty enlightening， not to mention entertaining。 The author is not kind to gun owners which， as a target shooter， hurts a little bit， but I get it。 Somehow the book feels a bit unfinished。 No matter， though。 I enjoyed reading it。 。。。more

Looking for a positive good read before bed？ Looking to better understand the concept of Karma， its conditions， causes， objects， intentions， actions， and completions？ In Instant Karma， David brings yet another fantastic learning entertainment story to life。 Whether you need encouragement that good begets good or looking for a deeper meaning to life’s challenges， you can find it in the pages of Michie’s narrative。 David has a gift for bringing characters to life that teach as well as delight。

“Why doesn’t everyone believe in karma？” This was the question at the start of Instant Karma that did make me think ‘why don’t they？’ The story captivated me from start to finish and I thought how timely it was given events happening around the world and also here at home in the UK。 That saying; be careful what you ask for – it resonates the same for me as karma。 When you do good， good always finds a way back to you – when something goes wrong， it’s ok it will pass。 I loved the way different exp “Why doesn’t everyone believe in karma？” This was the question at the start of Instant Karma that did make me think ‘why don’t they？’ The story captivated me from start to finish and I thought how timely it was given events happening around the world and also here at home in the UK。 That saying; be careful what you ask for – it resonates the same for me as karma。 When you do good， good always finds a way back to you – when something goes wrong， it’s ok it will pass。 I loved the way different experiences were weaved together and shared the end result for me kept coming back to kindness matters and we should all be a little more mindful and considerate of others。 The sentence that really struck a chord for me was “May all beings be free from suffering” – it’s such a simple ask yet so many people are still suffering。 Compassion， empathy， caring for others – these things don’t cost anything， and it's not just living beings but an appreciation of all that we have no matter how big or small。 A few of the sentences that especially jumped out at me were:“three things can never be hidden forever: the sun， the moon and the truth”“when actions are driven by delusions， they can only have negative outcomes”“as we think， so we become。”A lot of the work I’ve been doing lately is around restorative justice and resolving conflict in a peaceful manner without dehumanising another person， understanding each side and not being judgemental。 David always delivers when you need to be reassured you’re on the right path and that your journey is just where you need to be。 Simple and humble – I absolutely loved Instant Karma and urge everyone to read it… 。。。more

What a delightful story， and what ideas spring to mind when reading this book！！According to Wikipedia， karma is action， work or deed and its effect or consequence。 No matter how much you think you know about it， there is always something new to contemplate。Thank you again David Michie， for teaching us interesting and important concepts in your subtle and easy-to-read style wrapped up in an irresistible story。I just wish this would actually happen in the United States。 What a change for the bette What a delightful story， and what ideas spring to mind when reading this book！！According to Wikipedia， karma is action， work or deed and its effect or consequence。 No matter how much you think you know about it， there is always something new to contemplate。Thank you again David Michie， for teaching us interesting and important concepts in your subtle and easy-to-read style wrapped up in an irresistible story。I just wish this would actually happen in the United States。 What a change for the better it would make。 。。。more

I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of a David Michie’s new book “Instant Karma: The Day it Happened”。 Instant Karma is not in the same vein as his ‘Dalai Lama’s cat’ series so some readers may be a little disappointed but this is an inspiring and profound read。 The title of “Instant Karma” was very intriguing as I am sure we have all， at some time， said that some negative actions of a person will result in Karma or the end result of Karma - what goes around comes around focusing on I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of a David Michie’s new book “Instant Karma: The Day it Happened”。 Instant Karma is not in the same vein as his ‘Dalai Lama’s cat’ series so some readers may be a little disappointed but this is an inspiring and profound read。 The title of “Instant Karma” was very intriguing as I am sure we have all， at some time， said that some negative actions of a person will result in Karma or the end result of Karma - what goes around comes around focusing on the negative rather than positive aspects。 DM’s story or scenarios looks at both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ karma and conveys the Buddhist teachings without being preachy - something he has done so well in his previous books。 A。 couple of the scenarios were， in my mind， a little far-fetched but they did convey effectively the cause and effect of Karma。 It is a book that you will probably want to read several times to fully appreciate the messages and it is certainly a book that will prompt interesting discussions amongst fellow readers。 Whether or not you believe in Karma or Buddhist philosophy hopefully other readers will appreciate how their actions may affect someone or something。 Sent from my iPad 。。。more
