I Ching Version for Optimism: A Synthesis of the I Ching & Positive Psychology

The I Ching has provided humankind guidance from divine source for more than 3000 years. Our research suggests it is possible the I Ching was a written account of a more ancient verbal tradition. Theo Cade has studied the I Ching over 40 years and brings a unique positive psychology perspective to its use. In this I Ching Version for Optimism, the focus is on how to realise the opportunity in each situation. Based in the principles of positive psychology, all readings give wisdom about the best way to proceed given the circumstances. In this manner, every reading uplifts, inspires, and motivates to manifest positive effects. Combining a collection of deepest wisdom gathered over human history and a way to communicate with Spirit, The I Ching Version for Optimism offers direct access to divine guidance. "In Costa Rica, my days began as always, by consulting the I Ching. I was enjoying a couple of new versions and using the I Ching Essence cards I had created. I began to synthesize from my own knowledge and from others whose interpretations I was enjoying." "In the early hours of the morning when the veil is lifted and the guidance seemed profound, I began to write, one reading at a time. I am not claiming the guidance is mine as the writing seemed to come through me rather than from me. It is an inner voice looking over my shoulder. All I needed to do was stay tuned in and let the writing happen. Coming back to the reading as a reader, I am invariably empowered by applying the principles." Theo Cade is a writer with interests in spirituality, relationships, integral philosophy, and peace. Theo began his professional life with training and practice in psychotherapy. He observed that issues between world leaders were similar to issues in families. He also observed that applying processes similar to those effective at healing families would contribute to a better world. This professional journey led him to become an independent scholar of peace processes from which he developed All Win. Theo now lives with his wife, Jude, outside a small village high on the continental divide in Costa Rica. Together they as beloveds, they create, publish, and convene to inspire others and for their own evolution.
