The Feng Shui of Abundance
ReviewsFrom Brian Tracy, Alan Cohen, Publishers Weekly and One Spirit Review: "The ability to rationally and emotionally master the subject of money and financial independence is vital to every aspect of your life. This book shows you how in a wonderful and inspiring way." 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time "A uniquely practical guidebook that successfully marries ancient wisdom and modern success. Kudos to Suzan Hilton for her rare insights." Publishers Weekly The International News Magazine of Book Publishing and Bookselling "...engaging and straightforward guide to the feng shui of the checkbook ... like the colossal seller The Artist's Way ... "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 creating 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 a more ephermeral 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 finanace 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. "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 it's subject (money). Though a bit late on the feng shui wave, it is different enough to pique interest." Volume 248, Number 44, October 29, 2001 Copyright 2001 Publishers Weekly One Spirit Review Resources for the spirit, mind and body Everyday Enlightenment selection, July 2003 "A thought-provoking, comprehensive approach to personal finance." February 2002 "This one-of-a-kind book from former CPA Suzan Hilton synthesizes standard Western principles of wealth accumulation (live below your income, buy good-quality products, save and invest regularly) and feng shui fundamentals (chi, yin and yang, the Five Elements, and the Bagua's wealth and abundance area) to guide you toward financial stability. "Hilton uses the metaphor of the River of Gold and its five tributaries (the currents of feng shui, bodily sensations, emotions, creativity, and reason) to explain how you interact with money. By heeding your gut feelings, for instance, you can detect dubious business deals, while exploring your emotions may lead you to discover that anger is the driving force behind your overspending. Covering everything from the significance of exchanging money in new red envelopes to the steps to you should take if you lose your job, The Feng Shui of Abundance makes it possible for you to develope a financial strategy that takes your dreams and desires into account and speaks to your whole self."
