The I Ching is the “singular book of great esteem”, having originated in China around 5,000 years ago as a form of divination. Around 3,000 years ago it was formulated into a system of sixty-four images with corresponding text, built up from the foundational yin-yang (binary) concept. It has been used since then by emperors, officials and ordinary people for wisdom and guidance. Lest that be thought superstitious, let it be said that the influences on each moment are vast and deep, and the concepts of the I Ching plumb those depths, in ways that speak to our inner core. This is as true now as it ever was. This book is about the river of wisdom and insight that has flowed through one person’s life for over fifty years. The improbable (an ancient Chinese book) meets the practical and the inspiring in the present.
