Review: Yes, I really rate Stephen Karcher. He has clearly dedicated his life to this work and it shows. He is steeped in Chinese alchemy, and his writings on the Trigrams are second to none, being written from three viewpoints that could be seen as "Head, body and heart/soul". He is familiar with the Tradition, yet does not hesitate in translating the Work in ways that enhance our understanding and make the Book of Changes relevant both to our everyday lives and our spiritual understanding. Perhaps not a book for anyone totally new to the I Ching...perhaps start off with his "How to read the I Ching" which is better for novices.

Review: Karcher piles layer upon layer of commentary onto the I Ching. He generates additional hexagrams based on his own understanding of the text, which the text itself doesn't warrant. The book has so much verbage that it is difficult to find an answer to the original enquiry. This is a supreme example of "more being less". Avoid Stephen Karcher and his egotism and buy a decent I Ching.
