About the Author

Carol K. Anthony majored in creative writing at Ward Belmont College and the University of Iowa (1950), but did not find "her medium" until a friend brought her the I Ching in 1971, during a mid-life crisis. It was seven years later, when she realized that the notes she was keeping each time she experienced an "Aha, (to something the I Ching was trying to get her to understand) would become her first book on that subject " the popular "A Guide to the I Ching." Ms. Anthony has been sharing her ever new "Aha!s" ever since in one well-received book after another: four by herself up until 1994, and three more in her collaborations with Hanna Moog, an expert publisher's editor on the I Ching in Germany. Put in her own words, The I Ching came to me at a time of personal crisis. Today, we live in a time of crisis; that need is everywhere. The I Ching showed me that crisis is also a time of opportunity " the opportunity to connect with what we possess as inner resources, and with what we know in our deepest inner truth. It shows us that the solutions lie inside, not outside ourselves. In that regard, the I Ching mirrors to us our inner truth, which, when we follow it, leads to enduring success. It also shows us that when we act in harmony with that inner truth, the whole Cosmos supports what we do. Today, more than ever, this 3000 year old book is the only book I know that gives this kind of enduring help.
