Episode 14 - The I Ching is perhaps the earliest textbook on ‘psychology’ and ‘decision-making’ in human history.

from Lisa wanna talk · host lisawannatalk

Hi, I'm Lisa and welcome to Lisa wanna talk. Today, I invite you to step with me into a subject that stirs bothwonder and quiet curiosity—the I Ching.Let me begin with a thought that may gently unsettle what youexpect: the I Ching was never merely a book of fortune-telling. At its heart, it is a book of change—of movement, of transformation, of the subtle currents that shape our lives.More than that, it may well be one of humanity’s earliest and most profound reflections on the inner world—a timeless guide to how we perceive, choose, and act. Long before the language of modern psychology or decision theory was formed, this ancient text was already tracing the patterns of the human mind.So today, let us set aside the image of prophecy, and instead walk into this three-thousand-year-old landscape of wisdom. Together, we’ll explore how its quiet insights still echo in our modern lives—and what it might teach us about navigating change with clarity and grace. You are welcome to write or leave a comment, and it would be great if you could share or follow this [email protected] me or buy me a coffee: https://pay.firstory.me/user/lisawannatalk
