Feng Shui and Money: A Nine-Week Program for Creating Wealth Using Ancient Principles and Techniques
This book has been a tremendous gift in my life as I have come to a greater self-awareness regarding my relationship with money, my environment and myself.
The practical exercises have been very helpful to me, and I love to tell the story of one particular experience in which I reflected on being more welcoming towards money. I placed a vase of flowers at the entrance of my home, and the next day I received an unexpected phone call with a $2,000 scholarship offer! Remarkable and true.
With its insight and humor, I have found it to be an excellent and well-appreciated gift. I highly recommend it!

This author’s approach to Feng Shui for prosperity cannot be described as “easy”, but it is certainly thorough.
Each chapter covers different areas of your living space, and how you can transform them (for wealth) through the principals of feng shui.
In addition, each chapter includes different activities and meditations which are used along with the physical principals.
Finally, there is a summary at the end of each chapter, done checklist-style, to assist the reader in completing all the chapter’s actions.
Though the book is well-written, the problem I had with it was this: the author’s use of lots of (authentic) feng shui terms and language. This does NOT make for easy reading for anyone who is a beginner to the uses of Feng Shui.
Now, if you don’t mind reading chapter after chapter filled with phrases like “Make one step every day toward the fulfillment of your Chen goal from your Dream Bagua”, then you’ll probably enjoy the book and get a lot out of it.
As for me, the struggle to keep on wading through the new-to-me language of Feng Shui convinced me that finishing the book would be worthwhile, but starting the program would not be.
I think a more mainstream use of language would have turned this book into a five-star read.
However, for the reasons given above, I can only rate the book three stars. I don’t believe the average reader will even finish reading the book unless their interest in Feng Shui is VERY strong.

This book is a clear outline of how feng shui works and exactly how to create better conditions in your home and office. A lot of the other books on this topic have lots of complicated theory that tends to lose me after the first few pages. But, this book took me step-by-step through each area of my house, and showed me how my energy, life, and even my financial outlook are being directly affected. It is more than just a book–it is really a guidebook that takes you step-by-step through a program–like having a professional consultant working with you.
The other part that has been really motivating for me is the way that it explains personal finance. It is really like a feng shui book and a personal finance book in one. It goes through spending habits, savings, and even investing, and shows the relationship to your feng shui situation. I am in the second week of the nine week “program” and already my relationship with money has shifted. I feel more empowered with money, more hopeful, and more confident about making a good living doing the things that I really love to do. For the first time, I am starting to really respect myself as someone who can handle money, and I feel a lot more in control of my financial future.
Instead of feeling that I should be miserly, the book is showing me how my finances are a direct expression of my life energy and spiritual outlook. I don’t usually hear people talk about money and spirituality in the same sentence (at least in a positive way), but this book is one of the first that explains how these two aspects of life go together harmoniously.
The book has a lot of humor, but it also has a lot of practical principles and ways for making a better life for yourself and having a better relationship with money. I want to see how my life continues to improve as I do the exercises and feng shui changes in the book. I definitely recommend it for peope who are interested in feng shui and, like most people, who are interested in creating a better money situation for themselves. I have aready gotten a couple of copies for some friends, and now they are getting some copies for some of their friends!

This is a wonderful book on feng shui and money! I have purchased similar books on feng shui and most of them were quite complicated to understand and to integrate into my daily life.
This book took me through a comprehensive journey with insightful exercises and rituals. Page after page I was amazed how my beliefs around money uncovered. I realized that in certain areas I felt uncomfortable asking for the wealth I wanted. By working through the book I was able to change that limitation into an invitation. I am excited about the process I am making!
The humor and pictures add to the pleasurable read.
I wish I could give more than five stars!

As a personal and business coach, I am always trying to find helpful resources for people to use in all areas of their lives.
Feng Shui and Money should go on the top of the list for many reasons. First, it is extrememly practical and can be used as a guide and program immediately. Second, one does not have to be a feng shui expert to understand it. Third, the book supports and integrates both inner and outer transformation.It’s hard to get a book that so practically and aptly brings together many components of our lives to help us grow and change. The focus is on money ( something we all need!) using feng shui principles but you will see by the end that you will be motivated and inspired in many different areas – your mission and purpose, your business, your family life and relationships and of course your pocketbook!!
I highly recommend it as a best seller – Put it at the top of your list!!!!
