About this title: At least 5000 years old, the "I Ching" is a book of oracles containing the whole of human experience. Used for divination, it is a method of exploring the unconscious; through the symbolism of its hexagrams we are guided towards the solution of difficult problems and life situations. It can also be read as a book of wisdom revealing the laws of life to which we must all attune ourselves if we are to live in peace and harmony.

"de facto translation of the i ching for english-onlys like us americans tend to be. if you are really interested in the i ching, you need to read this book at least once and to keep it as a reference. the readings are incredibly insightful and sound incredibly natural given the two levels of translation (chinese -> german -> english). i often find myself wondering if the obfuscation of the double translation is actually a blessing for such an esoteric and interpretable text."
"I remember I had some quotes from Jung and Confucius at the back cover. Those were enough to make me fall in love with the book. I love it because it has a believable philosophy behind it. It's kind of addictive too, well, it can be if you are into stuff like prophecy etc. I miss mine so much. I wish I had it with me now :( Oh! BTW I havn't read an English translation yet, I read it Persian."
