Iyiyi's (durumis) insightful quotes and passages from "The Book of Changes for Fifties"

"<The Book of Changes for Fifties>, by Kang Ki-jin"

Let's begin with the most impressive quote from this book. "If walking a thorny path is my destiny, I will gladly walk it." Kang Ki-jin's "The Book of Changes for Fifties" is a special guide for those in their 50s who are at a turning point in their lives. The author, director of the Taegeuk Philosophy Research Institute, reinterprets the wisdom of the 3,000-year-old Book of Changes for our modern times.

This book, which selects 25 essential readings from the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes specifically for those in their 50s, conveys the key phrase, "It is not the future but the past that needs changing." It emphasizes that one's current mindset toward the past can change the future. This is an impressive passage that resonates deeply with those in their 50s who have lived through half their lives.

The key quotes and dialogues discussed in the book can be broadly divided into four themes: how to improve one's luck, how to avoid misfortune, how to achieve great fortune, and how to make life smoother. These are not mere prescriptions but represent the wisdom of life based on the deep insights of the Book of Changes.

The author views the age of 50 as both the peak and a turning point in life. He states that at this stage, one has accumulated sufficient experience and wisdom to live as their true self. The author's most impressive explanation is that the Book of Changes is not a mere fortune-telling book, but rather a classic that offers profound insights needed to solve various problems in life.

In particular, this book presents the anxieties and challenges faced by 50-year-olds as natural processes and offers the wisdom to overcome them. Like the proverb from the Book of Changes, "Invariance does not fear change," it helps people find a stable center of life even in a changing world.

This book will be a valuable compass for all those preparing for a new beginning in the middle of their lives. It leads one to deeply consider what insights the ancient wisdom of the Book of Changes offers to us living in the modern era, and how we can make the rest of our lives more meaningful. The 50s can be not a time of fear, but a golden age of life. We now offer encouragement for a richer and more meaningful life in the latter half of life with new perspectives and wisdom.
