SynopsisFor centuries, The I Ching or Book of Changes has been consulted for sage advice at life's turning points. When its wisdom is sought with sincerity and sensitivity, this Chinese oracle will help to promote success and good fortune and to impart balance and perspective to your life. Its everlasting popularity lies in the lessons that it teaches about how to use your positive qualities in order to attain life's greatest rewards-prosperity, understanding, and peace of mind. Brian Browne Walker's new, highly accessible translation of the I Ching, because it is clear and direct, allows you to make the wisdom of the ancient Chinese sages your own. Brian Browne Walker has studied the Chinese language for twelve years, and has studied and practiced Taoist philosophy with a number of teachers in the United States and abroad. Among his mentors are a Taoist master in California and Sawat Pracheron in Thailand. This new translation's easy-to-use format and contemporary language will be a boon to new users. Devotees of the I Ching will find that this version enhances their understanding of the ancient text.

Small, compact, lacks background information.
This is my 1st copy of the I-Ching. I have been studying Feng Shui lately, and in my studies, the I-Ching has been referred to several times. So i thought I would buy a copy, since I did not have any prior knowledge. I was expecting a general overview of what the I-Ching actually is, maybe a little bit of history into it, and a general mentioning of its HUGE role in the Taoist religion. NONE OF THIS WAS MENTIONED. Not once was Taoism mentioned AT ALL, other than in the authors biography on the front flap. Taoism basically revolves around the I-Ching, yet this book never mentions the religion at all. It jumps right into how to use the I-Ching, and the divination meanings. The book leaves it plain and simple, not mentioning any sort of combined divination techniques, or even mentioning about the I-Ching's origin! I am quite disappointed. :/ This is clearly written, however the content is not new user-friendly.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Not really a translation, but useful
This edition is not so much a translation as a paraphrase of the I Ching - but still useful as a first step in coming to understand this great classic, the oldest book in the world.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Supportive 'Wisdom' at a glance when needed!
I use I Ching on line, but this is an added bonus. I can re-read as an aid to ponder upon the advise of my question, or use it, when I need to remind myself of the Ching wisdom advise. Namesta. BTW...Nice price for those of us on limited senior income. Thank You.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
