That's Karma, Man!
Stop freaking out, accept the obvious, and learn to plant better what you want to harvest.
About the book
Karma is not an entity with a little notebook recording your sins. It is cause and effect — and cause and effect can be managed.
Few Buddhist words have been treated as badly as this one. It became an internet joke, a veiled threat, a consolation for anyone waiting for the universe to send someone else the bill. None of those uses has anything to do with what the tradition actually describes.
That's Karma, Man! is the most direct and unceremonious book in the catalogue. Karma here is not destiny or cosmic punishment — it is consequence. And consequence has an enormous advantage over destiny: it can be managed. What you plant today largely defines the field of choices available tomorrow.
The book first dismantles the folklore — revenge-karma, merit-karma, karma as an excuse not to act — and then builds a usable reading: how to spot the patterns you keep feeding, how to interrupt a cycle before it closes again, how to choose actions by the result they produce rather than the intention you swear you had.
A short book, with a sharper and more pop tone, made for readers who have already tested longer methods and want to apply the same logic of cause and effect faster and less solemnly — without losing substance.

From the book
“Karma is not the universe waking up at three thirty in the morning to arrange a sequence of domestic humiliations. There is no old man with a white beard logging your failures on a clipboard, working out the exact angle to drop the LEGO brick where your bare foot will land. There is no cosmic accountant. There is no revenge of fate.
The dog on the rug, the bread turned to charcoal, the gum in the child's hair: that is just a bad morning. There is no karma in any of it. The karma comes afterwards, in what she does with the bad morning. That is where the seed goes in. And she is planting right now, without noticing.⬝
