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.

This review is from: Mian Xiang Discover Face Reading- Your Guide to the Art of Chinese Face Reading (Paperback)

I find reading this book that the accuracy of the Chinese face reading is so dead on it's unbelievable. Amazing! The book is extremely helpful and easy to make me understand people better without them knowing that I am trying to do so. Also the chronology of the book is quite methodical, making it a fun and easy read compared to the other Joey books. However I wished there was an index at the back for quick reference to particular topics I was looking for.

This review is from: Mian Xiang Discover Face Reading- Your Guide to the Art of Chinese Face Reading (Paperback)

This has been by far one of the most interesting books/subjects I've ever come across. There's so much you can tell about a person's inner characteristics simply from one's facial features - and it's been very accurate so far I must say. Easy to understand, fun to read... anyone can pick this up in minutes! besides... it's been a great ice breaker for me too. highly recommended!!!

This review is from: Mian Xiang Discover Face Reading- Your Guide to the Art of Chinese Face Reading (Paperback)

I found this to be a very harsh, black and white method of face reading. I was very interested to learn about the origins of Face Reading, and because it is a fundamentally Chinese art form, was keen to read this version. However, it is based, understandably on the reading of Asian faces, and the illustrations are reflected by this. Perhaps this is where things began to go off course for me. There were some parts that were completely wrong for me, for example, the qualities that should be apparent on my ears that would reflect a difficult childhood. Mine should be quite hard, and looking damaged according to this system, but someone reading me would believe that mine had been idyllic. They also stick out which would make me a difficult child to raise, but I was very quiet and obedient, and also very thoughtful (or so everybody told me). The sharp definition of my nostrils would also have them believe that I'd had an easy time during my 49th and 50th years. Unfortunately also way off the mark. The more subtle feature differences in the Asian faces represented here, perhaps made it more difficult for me to discern some of the indicators that I was searching for, or perhaps it was that the diagrams are a little bit difficult to find the detail in that I was hoping for. You won't find any Gallic noses or Celtic comlexions in this book, and if your self esteem is a bit dented, think twice before you begin to read. You might consider yourself to be honest at the very least, but if your nose is bumpy and bony, and your lips are thin, you're probably lying to yourself!
