Dr. Michael McDonald draws on four decades of working with the Book of Changes to create a guide for modern consultation and personal growth. McDonald studied under I Ching specialists at two universities and developed his own journal-based interpretation method. The book covers oracle traditions across cultures and traces I Ching history in accessible language. McDonald presents original explanations of the system's archetypes and symbols through numerous charts and visual aids that clarify how the oracle operates. He updates the classical concept of the "profound person" through two practical applications: the I Ching journal technique and the I Ching Personality Profile. These methods transform ancient Chinese wisdom into tools readers can use for self-reflection and guidance in contemporary life.
