The Tao of Birth Days: Using the I Ching to Become Who You Were Born to Be

This book was really very informative. I am new to the topic, and found the explanations to be extremely straightforward (but not simplistic). It is also genuinely interesting and entertaining.

I have been using the I Ching for 31 years with great effect and it has helped me quite a bit. This book opened a whole new view of the system to me, one based on personality types- it was AMAZINGLY accurate! Typing myself & my family has helped us all get along better and figuring out the natal hexagrams of my coworkers has really decreased tensions.There are great exercises in the back of the book and I think he is one of the few Westerners to understand TEH!

i have about 50 books on iching and the approach in this book is completely new for me. he describes the hexagram using some new ideas(fe hex 5 as natural taoist).i learned a lot just during 1 hour reading in bookshop.

The Tao of Birth Days jumped off the shelf at me- it is subtitled 'Becoming who you were born to be' and I thought, what a great goal! What is fantastic about it is that it shows a new system for learning about yourself using the I Ching to discover what youre 'natal hexagram' is- this is fantastic stuff! It is easier than figuring out an astrology column and it was so right-on I almost dropped the book! My natal hexagram really fit, it was uncanny how accurate it was. Everything from my pickiness to my love of nature, my fixation on patterns and my love of animals- really amazing! This book also tells you how to find the natal hexagrams of others, like husbands!- and how to compare your hexagram and theirs to see where you conflict or complimant eachother- very useful! And, my husbands was right on too- almost spooky! All in all this is a great book and I think Ill be using it quite a bit over the years- run out and buy it! Youll be looking up the hexagrams of all your friends and coworkers- it is even now making the rounds of my office and everyone is amazed-Rebecca Hood
