“Karma and Kismet: A Spiritual Quest Across Continents, Cultures, and Consciousness” by Michael Shandler is an evocative exploration of lifeโs twists and turns. Born in South Africa, Gary forms a close bond with his younger sister, Penny, a relationship that anchors him through lifeโs challenges.
At just ten years old, Gary is enrolled at SACS (South African College School) to receive a premier English South African education. Later, despite his motherโs protests, his father sends him to Oudtshoorn Boys High. His mother, haunted by the trauma of World War II, resists Gary’s association with Afrikaners, whom she holds responsible for the destruction of her Austrian home. As Gary’s life unfolds, he faces the rigors of military service, eventually receiving an honorable discharge. His journey continues across continents, with pivotal chapters in Israel and Canada.
Shandlerโs narrative is both compelling and intimate, enhanced by the inclusion of personal photographs that bring his story to life. The memoirโs themes of resilience and spiritual growth resonate deeply, especially in moments where Gary confronts injustice. Itโs a powerful reminder of the human capacity for transformation and hopeโa story that lingers long after the final page.
