I remember in highschool picking up a copy of the i ching. I found the poetry in simplicity to be really meaningful to me and could feel and relate to it. Something like water and fire I always found humorous because you can see fire as a hollow shell while water flaky yet connected. I think the I ching has a lot to offer and similar works that base their philosophies in trying to make the world less complicated. However, its place and impact in the world probably will not be fully felt as, from a religious/philosophical marketing perspective, it tends to be more of a cute idea than something to devote a life to.
