Summary

"I Ching Readings is the only book ever published that shares the real-life stories of people who have consulted the I Ching - their questions, the answers they received and the events that followed." "We Wei's informative stories show how the I Ching unerringly guides people to great success - and how misinterpreted guidance can lead lives off track. In this insightful work, you will also learn how to understand and interpret answers you receive from the I Ching and, just as importantly, how to phrase your questions to obtain the best possible answers."--BOOK JACKET.
