Summary: Incisive. Insightful.
Review: And yes, relevant. This is not a mere "transliteration" of some ancient holy book; it's a living, interactive experience. It makes sense, something no other translation has done for me. I guess that's all I can say, is what it's done for me. and there's not enough space for that!

Summary: RL Wing has given the key
Review: I bought this book just to say that I had read a copy of the I Ching. Then I became fascinated with the book as I read through the introductory material in the beginning, and tried throwing the coins a few times. As I gained experience and my intuitive mind began to unfold before me I learned that the I Ching is much more than a mere divination tool.

Summary: The Oracle is a living thing
Review: I first encountered this R.L. Wing's version of the I Ching many years ago,and it remains to this day the best and most understandable I have ever seen. This book has a personality - I don't know of any other way to describe it. It has an astonishing ability to answer even the most direct and pointed questions with a relevant response and sound advice. If you have ever had the slightest curiosity about the I Ching or the Tao, you must have this book. I've replaced my copy of this book 3 times now, having worn out the previous ones. Be prepared - you don't read this book, you converse with it.

Summary: A marvelous translation of the I-Ching.
Review: I have read more than a few translations of the I-Ching, and RL Wing's translation surpasses them all. Wing begins with a scholarly introduction, and the first sentence carries much meaning: "The book you have opened is an ancient treasure." The book continues to explain the Tao, Yin and Yang, the Trigrams and the Hexagrams in simple, yet profound, prose.The workbook format is ideal, and by recording the results of your inquiries you will gradually see the patterns of your life unfolding. And yes, it really works.

Summary: Perseverance Furthers
Review: In 1985 I bought my first copy of this book. For the next 15 years I consulted it, sometimes regularly, sometimes sporadically, for insight and advice. First I separated yarrow stalks. Then I tossed coins. Later I wrote a computer program and clicked my mouse. I was often enlightened, occasionally baffled, but never misguided. Today I bought my second copy of this book. My original copy has yellowed with age. The covers have been secured with Scotch brand Magic Tape for several years now. The right-hand pages are filled with numbers, notations, and check marks. The pages of the Hexagram Journal are almost full. When my new copy arrives, my old copy will take its honored place on the bookshelf in my meditation corner, next to my even more yellowed but equally revered copy of the Wilhelm/Baynes translation. My new copy will take its upstart place on my desk, where I will consult it on an as needed basis. The forms change. The source remains. Buy this book. Read it. Study it. Use it. Absorb it. Then throw it away. By then you'll know.

Summary: This book changed my life.
Review: Of all R.L. Wing's books, this is the closest to me. Before it, I slept. For 32 years I existed unconsciously. Now, I live. I breathe, I am aware, I am vigilant, I am naturally. There is a reason you're investigating this book. Discover it.
