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 se...more

I have bought this book seven times at this point, partially because it makes a great housewarming gift, but mainly because everytime I loan it out, it never makes it back to me.

This book is concise, fun to read, well-organized, and helpful. Details and anecdotes are included but it never gets too confusing or esoteric. You don't even need to read it chronologically since each chapter stands enough on its own that you can skip around to the specific issues you want to address with ...more

I gave this a cursory reading in Borders last night and have not stopped laughing since. Some of the ideas I love, and some... well... ?? I'm just not sure how placing a square earthenware bowl of fruit in my shoe closet will improve my health. Although at this point it would give me a good laugh! And the whole bit with my ch'i (life force) falling through the cracks in my spiral staircase or being taken out with the trash leaves me wondering. But over all some interesting ideas. Just let ...more

Ok this is the longest Review I have written as I am very passionate about it due to my personal experience with it - so please bare with me. If you are interested in Feng Shui it may be worth the read. Please note parts of this review are copied from other similar titles I have reviewed.

First for the actual book at hand - "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life". This is one of the first books I read when I began reading about Feng Shui. I was very taken by the ease of use...more

Despite the rather flip title, this fantastic book is a serious but very readable introduction to feng shui. Designed to be used immediately, it offers fantastic suggestions for getting started and inexpensive ways to get your whole house in alignment -- especially if your home is part of an apartment building, etc. I can't recommend this book enough -- it's my go-to guide for feng shui and I'm always referring to it!

This book is pretty cheesy sometimes, but I love her approach to feng shui and the way she writes about changing things in your house as a way of bringing your own attention to what you want in life. This isn't about moving your furniture or pure woo-woo magic.

It was also a pretty good review for me of five element theory and the associations with each element. Dovetailed nicely with some of what I'm learning in my Intro to Eastern class which is the first in our Shiatsu series.

One of my favorite books. I return to it frequently. One of the best explanations of the basic principles of Black Hat Feng Shui. The title sounds like self-help fluff, but it's actually very thorough and well organized, and it works! I was drawn to practice Feng Shui because of this book.

Easier to understand than most feng shui books and very specific examples. There are several areas of feng shui that I felt were unexplored in this book. Not sure if I'm on board with all of this but it was nice to understand it a little better since I've heard so much about it.
Jessica
Loved this book. Carter writes in a way that makes feng shui easy to understand. A friend recommended it to me and gave me a copy when I moved to my new house. I've looked at it over and over again. I feel like I learn something new every time I open it.
Becca
This book rocks if you are interested in changing your intention in your life, through your home, office, attic, etc.
I use it ALL the time and bought two so that I could lend one out. It's practical, fun to read, and a great resources for years to come.
Andy Lawless
Decluttering your life/home and using plants to bring in good energy is good idea.

With so many Feng Shui books on the market and each contradict each other,this book is a good start on ones path to understand the concept and put it into practice.

For anyone who enjoys, believes, or is interested in Feng Shui....this book is easy to understand, is creative, and gives good ideas. I have several books on this subject, but this is my favorite.
Keshia
Keshia rated it 4 of 5 stars
This is a good book that serves as an introduction to Feng Shui offering cures, explanations and the occasional, yet whimsical off beat attempt at humor that doesn't always read well. The explanations are balanced with Feng Shui cures for your home that can be easily implemented with many things that one may already have on hand. Well organized with a summary at the end of each chapter makes thumbing through the chapters a cinch. There are also a number of affirmations included which helps in...more

What can I say? I applied some of the easiest cures (methods) of the book and now my car is running and I have a new job. It's written for practicality but is also highly entertaining and engaging.
Caitlin
I've read this book three times and just now can say I finished rearranging the room I am in RIGHT NOW less than three hours ago. The change is uncanny! :)

I've read lots of feng shui books and this is the one I recommend if your first. Super easy to read and understand with helpful charts and graphics.
Beneth
Actually, I have finished it. It's funny and spells out the concepts. I became somewhat obsessed with completing it after I began. It's a whole little system of what goes where and why. Very intriguing. After I feng-shui'd my apartment using it, I was somewhat disallusioned to hear from a friend of mine who studies "classic feng shui" that what is really more important than the placement on the bagua map relative to the front door is placement based on North, South, West and East....more

Really clear, super helpful book. The author has a great, casual tone and doesn't seem to take herself too seriously, which makes it easier to get into the whole concept.
