Description: "The I Ching is nothing less than an explanation of the laws of change in the universe and of how human beings can learn to live in harmony with them. Balkin presents it as a work of practical philosophy and ethics, concerned with helping people to cultivate their characters, achieve emotional balance, and maintain personal integrity in the face of adversity and ever-changing circumstances.

He shows how the I Ching's divinatory system helps the reader discover the book's underlying philosophy through applying its insights to everyday problems."--BOOK JACKET.
