More About the Author

Joey Yap first began learning about Chinese Metaphysics from masters in the field when he was fifteen.

Despite having graduated with a Commerce degree in Accounting, Joey never became an accountant. Instead, he began to give seminars, talks and professional Chinese Metaphysic consultations in Malaysia, Singapore, India, Australia, Canada, England, Germany and the United States, becoming a household name in the field.

By the age of twenty-six, Joey became a self-made millionaire and in 2008, he was listed in The Malaysian Tatler as the Top 300 Most Influential People in Malaysia and Prestige's Top 40 Under 40.

His practical and result-driven take on Feng Shui and BaZi sets him apart from other older, traditional masters and practitioners in the field. He shows people how the ancient teachings can be utilized for tangible REAL world benefits. The success he and his clients enjoy, thanks to his advice, is positive proof that Feng Shui and BaZi Astrology works, whether everyone believes in it or not!

Today, Joey has helped and worked with governments and the wealthiest people in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and Japan. His clients include multinationals, developers, tycoons and royalties. On Bloomberg, he is featured on-air as a regular guest on the subject of Feng Shui annual forecasts. He is retained by twenty-five top Malaysian property developers to help determine suitable candidates to take top management, change their space and Feng Shui mechanism, the way they make decisions, and understand the natural cosmic energies that can influence their decision-making.

Every year he conducts his 'Feng Shui and Astrology' seminar to a crowd of more than 3500 people at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center. He also takes this annual seminar on a world tour to Frankfurt, San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Toronto, Sydney and Singapore.

The Joey Yap Consulting Group is the world's largest and first specialized metaphysics consultation firm. His consultancy, and professional speaking and training engagements with Microsoft, HP, Bloomberg, Citibank, HSBC and many more have seen the benefits of Classical Feng Shui and BaZi find their way into corporate environment and culture. Celebrities, property developers and other large organizations turn to Joey when they need the best.

After years of field-testing and fine-tuning his teachings, he has put together a team in the form of Joey Yap Research International. The objective of this Research Team is to scientifically track and verify the positive impact of Feng Shui and BaZi on subjects and ultimately to assist more people in achieving their life goals.

The Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics which Joey founded teaches thousands of students from all around the world about Classical Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology and Face Reading. Many graduates have gone on to become successful in their own right, becoming sought after consultants, setting up their own consultancy businesses or even becoming educators, passing on Chinese Metaphysics knowledge to others.

Joey has also created the Decision Referential Technology™, offering decision reformation training on how to make better decisions in business and in personal life. He has led his team of highly trained consultants to help clients create more positive change in corporate boardrooms and increase production in their companies, helping people see their business outlook for each year so they may anticipate, plan and execute their strategies successfully.

Joey's work has been featured regularly in various popular global publications and networks like Time, Forbes, the International Herald Tribune and Bloomberg. He has also written columns for The New Straits Times, The Star and The Edge - Malaysia's leading newspapers. He has achieved bestselling author status with over sixty-five books, which have sold more than three million copies to-date.

His success is not limited to matters of Feng Shui and BaZi. Although his success is a product of them, he is also a successful entrepreneur, leading his own companies and property investment portfolio. When not teaching metaphysics or consulting around the world, Joey is a Naruto-fan, avid snowboarder and is crazy for fruits de mer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Information yet be careful, February 10, 2010

This review is from: BaZi- The Destiny Code: Your Guide to the Four Pillars of Destiny (Paperback)

With the little information out there on authentic Four Pillars Chinese Astrology, this book and the sequel are a must have. These books provide very good information on learning the Four Pillars yet I found they contained a lot of filler information and always referenced wealthy people as well as being focused on wealth. Granted most people are interested in wealth so I don't blame him. The book also had at least 20 pages of plugs for all his other content and throughout the book he kept saying that it was a beginner book and that he would explain more complex things in later books. The world of Joey Yap is basically an empire of endless self help through the Chinese Divination Arts with books, tapes, DVD's, software, courses, seminars etc etc. Granted this information can help you and I sincerely believe he wants to help people but I get the immpression that once you sign in you become an income stream to be maximized. What I don't like is that these two books could have been combined into one book. Everything is basically piecemeal and a teaser for the next thing until you are bleed dry. That's why I say be careful. So here is the GOOD, great information and lots of resources, The BAD, make no mistake he isn't Lao Tse and isn't trying to be. Look I am not trying to be negative, but his two books on BaZi cost $66 when it should have been one book and cost about $25. get my point.

Knowing what the future lies ahead of me has always pique my curiosity. Joey has brilliantly written this book which explains how we could decode one's destiny code. The fundamentals are clearly explained in the simplest form and I can't wait to receive the second part to this book.

This review is from: BaZi- The Destiny Code: Your Guide to the Four Pillars of Destiny (Paperback)

This is a great book. Whether you are a absolute beginner or a enthusiast (like me), I think you will find this a good investment. The first part of the book provides the reader with a good foundation of 5 elements, stems & branches as well as the concept of destiny & luck. Then the second half goes into the real juciy bits- finding your favourable element, the 5 major factors and its application in the various aspects of your life.

It is systematic and well written enough for a beginner, yet comprehensive enough for a more advance reader like me. I found it filled in a lot of the gaps I have from reading other books on Chinese Astrology.
