A BOOK ABOUT THE ESSENCE OF LIFE 
Over time, the I Ching has been consulted by a huge 
variety of people. Chinese emperors used to ask it 
questions when they had to make important decisions 
(and they had someone who interpreted the texts for 
them), but also medics, philosophers, mathematicians, 
and normal families grew fond of the answers this book 
of wisdom seems to be able to give. I encountered it at 
a very young age, through my father. During my studies 
(Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam), I learned 
more about its historical and cultural value. Today, I am 
still fascinated by the fact that a book that was created 
so long ago, can still be consulted and used today. Can 
it predict the future? Maybe, I don’t know. Has the I 
Ching captured the essence of life? Possibly, but I am 
not the one to tell you what the essence of life is. I think 
it’s up to you to answer these questions for yourself. 
My mission is to introduce this book to you, simply, 
because I think it is a book you should have heard of. 
It’s definitely one of the pearls in the history of mankind, 
and I enjoy talking about it (and exploring some of its 
secrets) together with you.
