You question doesn't fit the case. You're applying a Western sensibility to a book from the East, used initially for divination and later to inspire reflection and insight.

Pick up a translation. Any translation. Flip to a random page and read it through, twice. Mull it over the course of your day. Eat Chinese.

I got The Portable Dragon: the Western Man's Guide to the I-Ching, mostly as a gag
I haven't opened it yet so I can't tell you whether it's good or not
