Wise Decisions with the I Ching

The holistic approach to interpretation presented in this book reveals clear and direct answers to your questions in everyday language. According to this approach, perceiving the big picture--the hexagrams from a reading and the meaningful pattern that they form called the theme--allows the reader to understand the moving lines and the other texts contextually. To facilitate this process, this book includes a dictionary that expands and modernizes the meanings associated with each hexagram. For instance, hexagram 59, Dispersion, can also refer to distribution, sharing, marketing, etc., depending on the question asked. This approach makes it easier to recognize the answer in a reading because it reveals the only few relevant patterns formed by the resulting hexagrams. This book contains 85 fully explained readings. It includes the Web address of the classic book "The I Ching or Book of Changes" by Wilhelm/Baynes, where the moving lines and the other texts can be easily found. Wise Decisions with the I Ching can also be used as a companion guide to any other unabridged version of the I Ching.
