THE ART OF CHANGE
THE ART OF CHANGE
Patterns for Success. A Modern Interpretation of the I Ching
About the Book
What is change?
Why is it important?
How do you change successfully?
THE ART OF CHANGE provides timeless answers to these eternal questions. It is a modern reading of The Book of Changes, in Chinese I Ching, with focus on practical guidance for actions and decisions, consciously leaving out the fortune-telling parts.
It is an interpretation of 64 short sections on how to successfully create and respond to change in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world where the rate of change is increasing daily.
Through diverse situations and patterns, you will discover new perspectives on people and their behaviours, get actionable advice on handling and creating change strategically and effectively, and, thus, learn how to make a difference.
You will also improve your understanding of China and Chinese ways of transforming, leading and strategising since The Book of Changes is deeply ingrained in Chinese thinking, decision-making and actions, e.g. as part of civil servant education for over 2,000 years and as a primary influence on Sun Tzu’s Art of War and Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.
"Drawing both on ancient philosophy and today’s experience of running a tech company, Erik provides better perspective on change and how to think about it and manage it than the more frantic advice we get from modern business books." Hunter Hastings, executive director and value creator
"I really liked how you turned an ancient and complex text into something so practical and easy to understand for modern times. Congrats on making these ideas clear and helpful for anyone looking to improve themselves and lead with purpose!" Excelsior Ignu, storyteller
"Thank you for sharing all these profound insights, which remain highly relevant, in a very digestible format!" Johan Ivari, officer and teacher
“I have read things that I needed to read — right now, in my life. As usual, the I Ching never fails." Rod Leaverton, strategist
"This is wonderful." Frank Chiaro, passionate explorer
