"The Centered Life" is a non-fiction work about I Ching, a Chinese philosophy based on yin and yang - the two opposing forces in the universe. It presents a philosophy of life based on nature's way, providing universal principles of human conduct to follow. I Ching is also an ancient method of divination for predicting the future or for receiving direction for a course of action. Found within the text are the sixty-four hexagrams that represent all the phenomena in the universe with continual interaction of all forces and elements in the universe. Each hexagram serves as the medium for interpreting nature's way. The philosophy of I Ching has greatly influenced Asian thoughts and religions, including Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, as well as other aspects of Asian culture. "The Centered Life" is an introduction to I Ching - a book of wisdom that will help readers develop insight into understanding important cultural distinctions of Asian society, such as reverence toward nature, worship of ancestors, and family relationships. It will also help readers gain wisdom for daily life and attain self-realization.
