Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-19 00:00:00 Andrew Hayes I have (and do use) many versions of the I Ching, but if I could only have one I would choose this one. The translation is by Thomas Cleary with commentary by the Taoist adept Liu I-ming. Unlike many other translations that seem to focus on external success, prosperity, etc., the emphasis here is on internal cultivation of consciousness.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-21 00:00:00 Aaron Denman It took me a long while to finish this book, but I don't think it was because it was "bad" really. It really gave me perspective I found. Personally, I learned a lot about the way you think and act, which I tried to apply to myself. This book really made me want to step outside of my body and look at myself as someone else, which really made me consider the way I behave and kind of who I was. It may look like just a bunch of random mumbo-jumbo sentences that don't really tell you anything, but they're so full of wisdom I found myself wanting to better who I was from these pieces of advice or knowledge. I really enjoyed this book, although it's not much of a page turner. I found it more of a postive ego reducer. Something that grounded me and gave me advise and let me either take it or leave it while showing you the balance you need in your life; Hence Ying and Yang. I found it VERY interesting and would highly recommend it if A) You love learning about Philosophy or ways of thinking/changing through another cultures perspective or B) You maybe want to change yourself or at least see another way of thinking using the advice from one of the most studied books in the world.
