Promising health, wealth, and happiness, feng shui offers endless appeal -- at least in concept. Unfortunately, feng shui's seemingly complicated methods are often difficult to learn and apply in a meaningful way. Fortunately, Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life is written in plain and simple English for the modern Western reader. Revealing the ancient Chinese secrets that are as useful and necessary today as they have been for centuries, Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life communicates how to:

* MEET "THE ONE"
* FIND A DREAM JOB
* EARN BETTER GRADES IN SCHOOL
* ENJOY A BETTER SEX LIFE

I read this book with much skepticism....but thought, "Hey, it can't hurt, right?" A few years ago, a Feng Shui practicing friend of mine asked me if I closed the toilet lid when I flushed...I said, "Sometimes, but not always...." and she replied, "You're FLUSHING away your wealth!" I had a good laugh, but decided to try it. I began religiously to put the toilet seat down...and got an unexpected check in the mail from the IRS that year. Let me just say that has never happened before or since.

I decided to bone up on Feng Shui and did a Bagua map of my home and saw that my wealth area was my back bedroom which was in maxed out disarray due to a flooding problem which had recently been fixed. I took a week off from work and totally remodeled the room....even put new furniture in....and my husband got a nice raise! I know, it sounds crazy... but I think, in part, having an orderly home free of clutter destresses you and helps you become more peaceful and therefore more productive and happy.

This was a great book. I can't comment on the love part as I've been married forever (but still love him), but I'm sure it can't hurt to try either! I highly recommend this book, if for no other reason, to get your home decluttered and more organized.

I have a number of books on Feng Shui, and this is easily the most accessible. It is written clearly, provides concrete examples, and the reasoning behind doing certain things is explained properly. In other books I have on the subject, a lot of time is spent dealing with the more arcane aspects of Feng Shui, which many of us do not need or want.

This book is practical and easy to use, and its format allows one to walk around the house carrying it and applying its suggestions without having to take volumnous notes and study for days. If you want to bring order to your life, stimulate the flow of "chi" (energy) through your home, and make it a happier, brighter place (and your life better at the same time), this is the book to help you. It's sort of like "Feng Shui for Dummies", but better. Don't hesitate on this one, buy it!


the ONE feng shui book to buy and read   April 13, 2003

This is the ONE feng shui book you should bother with buying and reading. Trust me on this because, between myself and my mother, we have a library of certainly more than ten, all of which we've looked through but never actually read because they are too confusing and scientific. "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life", before changing our lives through feng shui and the rearrangement of our furniture and decor, first changed our lives by being the only feng shui book we've ever read like a novel. It's full of little magic tricks for your home and not confusing compasses and photos of interiors for design ideas. It's not at all scientific and it's really funny and fun to read. And the author makes feng shui sound like it makes a lot of sense too, for those that don't quite understand it. It would be so much harder to learn about feng shui from any other book I've read on the subject. I'm so enthused about it that I even came here to amazon just to review this book. I really love it. It will become indispensible to you!
