Dr. Constance Vincent has done a spectacular job applying the twelve laws of

karma to a wide range of personal experiences and fascinating stories. Her book is

short, well-written and profound. In my teaching as a university professor l've

often brought up the subject of karma without knowing much about it. At the

outset, Professor Vincent defines karma very clearly and differentiates it from

matters of luck and coincidence. She then presents the twelve laws of karma rooted

in philosophical thought, current scientific research, and universal religious truths.

Dr. Vincent's approach is truly unique. Instead of staying on an abstract academic

level, she continually provides pearls of wisdom from monks, farmers, poets, artists

and gurus. Her book is loaded with brilliant quotations and passages. Her

reference to pertinent books and authors is a treasure.

I read Karma in Action on a sunny afternoon. I couldn't put it down. Treat

yourself. This book is a winner!
