Personally, I really like this quote:
"Isolated people get locked into unreal notions of themselves,or into hobbies, plans, gadgets or various forms of shownmanship. Then theres no sense of being held by or part of something larger than oneself."

"Let go of clinging. Yes, you do get to recognize that taking hold of a system, firming up and getting righteous about it, carries the same feel and passion that you can get around a bar of chocolate. It's clinging... And it means you're about to suffer. And probably inflict some suffering on someone else." Great quote. Great book if you like reading Buddhist philosophy, and he has fantastic meditation tips at the end of each chapter.

Really enjoying this FREE ebook (just search for it). It has a great balance of diving deep into dharma definitions around kamma (karma), and bringing it all back to everyday life and the way we act on a minute to minute basis. Also ties everything back to classical meditation concepts like mindfulness of breathing.

Maybe not the most accessible book, some knowledge of Buddhist concepts will certainly help, but this book has lots to offer just about anyone looking to deepen their Buddhist practice.

An excellent exploration of the Buddhist idea of kamma/karma (like, I think I finally get it and can hang with it) with guidance on how to move through life with that curse/burden/gift. Lots of pali terminology, which may be off-putting to some, but this isn't a book for Buddhist beginners, anyway. Not terribly esoteric for those who want to give it a shot (it's downloadable), but probably not what I'd recommend as a first Buddhist book.

Read as a member of a study group. This is a Very Thorough exploration of Kamma and kamma. Our patterns our habits our actions voluntary and involuntary.

Very down-to-earth approach to karma. Sees karma as the state of mind/body that results from past actions. So if our meditations are sleepy or thought-filled, we need to re-balance our lives. Lots of helpful advice on how to do this. Very useful.
