 An open door to your own inner wisdom March 2, 2010
A. W. Carter (Orlando, FL)
I can't count the number of times this brilliant and brief meditative journal has delivered me from anxiety regarding a life situation and preserved my sanity in the process (actually, I can count - I've consulted it more than 391 times in the past 25 years). The "I Ching" is an ancient Chinese philosophy on coping with change that remains completely contemporary, but is greatly misunderstood by Western standards: You toss three coins, combine a couple Trigrams and come up with a number and situation corresponding to where you're at, and to where you're headed (e.g.; Nourishing - Advancement). How could something so seemingly random produce such profoundly personal insights? The answer is simply ... it doesn't: You do. All the process does is get you to actually sit down and focus your own mental energy and inner wisdom toward accepting change or resolving conflict. These inner resources are always present, but we seldom take the time or trust ourselves to look for them and listen. Someone brilliantly pointed out that prayer is like asking God for something, but mediation is about actually listening to God. The I Ching puts you in a place to listen to God resonating within yourself to provide your own best counsel. It gives you a chosen term to consider, and you provide the meaning relevant to your situation. Writing that meaning down in the workbook is powerful therapy toward acceptance or resolution and ultimate peace within. Hollywoodaholic: Confessions of a Screenwriter
Great book October 8, 2009

I love the I Ching workbook, I've had a copy previously, but misplaced it and had to have another! If you're interested in I Ching, this book makes it very easy to work with. I highly recommend it.
 I Ching Workbook March 23, 2009
Erica E. Zakrzewski (Charleston, SC)
This book is very easy to use and informative. The times I have used it so far it appears to be very accurate as well. However, it does not give a thorough understanding of the different hexagram make-ups, i.e, ch'ien, ken, sun, kan etc. It would help if it described the meaning of these better.

I have been consulting the Book of Changes, I Ching, for over 20 years. I bought this as a gift for a friend who is just getting into it. R.L. Wing has done an interpretation of this oracle, which is thousands of years old, which is thoughtful and provocative. It has helped we wend my way through some of life's challenges.
Great for beginners January 13, 2009

The I Ching Workbook was my own introduction to the I Ching. It's beautifully written and easy to follow especially when you are just learning how to consult the I Ching. I love the workbook style , it's handy to be able to write notes in the workbook.
