5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Buy! Be More Successful, Clear Clutter and Stay Calm, February 23, 2004

By A Customer

This book turned out to be a little gem.
My employees keep borrowing it from my desk.
I struggle with clutter, stress and remembering the 'Big Picture' at work.
This book actually presents Feng Shui in a way that is understandable,
practical and has ideas that can be implemented immediately.
I loved the beauty of design, hip illustrations, inspirational quotes and
page after page of Feng Shui ideas that I can use around the Office.
Chapter titles include: Feng Shui for you Desk, Stress Relief, Prosperity, Around the Office and on the Go.
Keep it on your Desk and Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Simple Book, February 8, 2006

By	Super Reader - See all my reviews

This book seemed pretty minimal, without much information after reading several other feng shui books. If you haven't read any other feng shui books, it would probably seem more interesting. This is a very light, very simple read, possibly a good gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Office Gem! , February 8, 2006

By	Daygya Talleur "Daisy" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Feng Shui has always confused me until reading this book. Office Feng Shui has simplified the mystery of it all, down to the simple basics to create a clear workspace. And it's easy and fun to read! The changes I made to my office after reading this book have been tremendously helpful, and I was able to implement them so quickly. In my busy schedule, I don't have time to study up on Feng Shui, so this book was perfect.
