I find this to be the I Ching interpretation that speaks most directly to me. When asking important questions I tend to look in more detailed books (mostly Ritsema's wonderful interpretation) too, but often this book will give me a clear and direct answer to my question, relevant and understandable, usually not difficult to apply to the situation I find myself in. In a way I feel a bit stupid using this compact book when I have other sources of information with much more depth, but Many years of using it, together with several other interpretations of the I Ching, convinces me more and more that this one book might be all that is needed. I still want to go deeper into the mysteries, thoughts and images, of the I Ching, but even for more complex and important guidance this book seems to give me just what I need.
