In 154 pages, this is how I simplify and explain Yijing:
1. Use only English, because the Chinese text is using old Chinese, and few can understand
2. Keep it short, the book has to be light too, at just 86 grams, it is lighter than most handphones. In just A5 size (half of A4), you can fit this into anywhere
3. Avoid going deep into the 64 hexagrams, where everyone gets lost. Instead, I explain Yijing around it: talking about morals, applications, Yin and Yang, how the Ba Gua came about, and how to read the 64 Gua easily.
4. Focus on layman's application, especially the part on divination. You can use Yijing to solve your problems, and also consult the author FREE-of-Charge.
5. Use modern technology of random number generator instead of cumbersome and complex use of coins, sticks and throwing of dice.
6. Make it inspiring, the comments by the readers at the back of the book and page 3 are what I'm proud of
7. Go for Real. The chapter on 5 Moving Elements or Wu Xing gives people a real understanding of what really grows and counters.
8. Make the book affordable, at just S$19.95 instead of $39.45. Everyone can afford this book easily, and you cannot afford not to read this book, because Yijing is our life. Get the book details at http://asiatrainers.org/yjbook
