The Laws of Change - Jack Balkin


A modern translation of the classic I-Ching. Balkin writes a translation that is very accessable for us Westerners. He leans heavy on moral and ethical questions while offering insights from the Chinese classic. The book is my favorite I-Ching translation and is probably the practical one. If you only want to read one I-Ching book, and yet take a very serious look at this philosophical goldmine, this is the book to read.

Those who want to study the I-Ching in depth will want to also look at the Wilhelm and Huang translations. Understanding and accepting change can bring peace into the frequent chaos of life.
