I Ching or Book of Changes by Richard Wilhelm
Everyone must at least understand the mechanics of this text and try them. This is technology of knowledge in the making. The writing is fascinating though as it actually on occasion goes out of its way to predict something specific, taking risks to be wrong.

An amazing book, idea and tool from thousands of years back.

The I Ching or Book of Changes by Richard Wilhelm
I finally realized the I Ching was more about politics and generalship than about problem solving.
