I have been lucky to own this book for years. It is easy to understand, practical and extraordinarily acurate. It has helped me many times to open my eyes to other posibilities, to take course of action, to save time, to give me a global perspective of difficult situations. I love books, and I have bought hundreds of books of different subjects, but this is one that it is a jewel. A book that is practical and of easy access to understand. I recomend it as the best fortune- telling book ever

This is an excellent practical explanation of the I Ching, making it easy to use. I have a few I Ching books, but this is by far the easiest to understand and use for daily divination. Even the book construction makes it an awesome tool - the page edges are rough, making it easy to flip through and the back page diagram of upper/lower trigrams makes finding the right trigram number simple.

Finally, an I Ching book for the REST of us.
Aug 19 1999
By Charlie Levenson (chas@teleport.com)
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
OK, maybe I'm slightly biased (co-author Amy __is__ my mom and I __did__ write the foreward) but I still think this is one of the best new books on the I-Ching in twenty years. The fact is, most books on the I-Ching are arcane and difficult to understand and make this wonderful tool for decision-making almost impossible to use. Amy and Rod's book makes it easy for regular (i.e. non-academic) people to use the I-Ching in their daily life. What more could you want?
If you're an academic student of the I-Ching, then you'll want to review this book for general ideas about a different, more "utilitarian" approach than Wilhelm and others. However, if you're a person who just wants to find an interesting entry into a thousand-year-old divination tool, then you'll LOVE this book.
And please, let me know if you disagree.
