Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this engaging and straightforward guide to the feng shui of the checkbook, former certified public accountant Hilton promises to deliver willing readers to the coveted "River of Gold." She devotes early chapters to the ground rule basics of the Chinese art of placement, including now familiar counsel about how clearing clutter also clears up the mind. She moves on to detail a hands-on program designed to aid in the creation of spaces (both literal and metaphorical) that are harmonious and lucrative. Each section ends with "Action Steps." These include locating a "Wealth Area" in your home and decorating it appropriately, as well as more ephemeral tasks like gauging your physical responses to the "flow of financial energy." Readers may raise their eyebrows at some of Hilton's notions e.g., the dangers of transacting business in places of expansive windows (high rate of "leaking energy"), or of having a bathroom in the "wealth area" (energy goes "down the drain"). But for those who perhaps do not cotton to the earnest practicality of many personal finance guides, Hilton offers a different and warmer perspective, albeit fuzzier at times. In general, the book steers away from the complex realities of money management as Hilton's interests lie primarily in helping her audience come to terms with creating and accepting plenty in any and all of its forms. (On-sale Dec. 26)Forecast: Like the colossal seller The Artist's Way, this is an interactive self-help book that should fare well given the inexhaustible popularity of its subject (money). Though a bit late on the feng shui wave, it is different enough to pique interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars A NEWCOMER'S TRIP THROUGH FENG SHUI, February 23, 2002

By 

Joan Lindner (CASA GRANDE, AZ (USA)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Feng Shui of Abundance: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Attracting Wealth Into Your Life (Paperback)

Having read a few books on Feng Shui and still lacking clarity on this complex subject I find Suzan Hilton's book to be refreshing, It is easy to follow and the activity sections at the end of each chapter are very helpful in the learning process. Suzan has a way of taking all the parts of the whole and putting them into one compact package. This is helpful in making Feng Shui a total part of your life. I have not found a book yet that demystifies Feng Shui and give practical applications for every day living until I read THE FENG SHUI OF ABUNDANCE. I highly recommend it to those who are just starting to work with Feng Shui and those who are experts and would desire a different way of looking at this fascinating subject. That about sums it up. A fascinating book for a fascinating subject.

This review is from: The Feng Shui of Abundance: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Attracting Wealth Into Your Life (Paperback)

This book was an excellent guide to the basics, plus gave many Action Steps that put those lessons to use. It really helps with every-day challenges like: how to become more creative, the different personna's people embody when they try to manage money, the meaning and uses of water, etc. If you're a financial professional who deals with clients, or somebody who thinks they should be able to save more of the money they make, this is the perfect book for you.

This review is from: The Feng Shui of Abundance: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Attracting Wealth Into Your Life (Paperback)

I found this book helpful, fun to use, and easy to understand. After reading a few other books on feng shui, I definitely found this one to be more user friendly, without getting too involved or too complicated. And seriously folks, who couldn't use more abundance in their lives?.......
