I really like this book. Had the author stopped at Chapter 19, I would have given it 5 stars. Honestly, 21-23 floundered and she seemed out of her depth. I think she could have taken highlights from those chapters and just added it to her "What Next" section. A number of statements not properly backed up with references to support the claims and so forth. That said, the book is very insightful and motivating. I have a number of highlights throughout and it has motivated me to continue my Feng Shui journey. As I am clearing my clutter, I am adding elements of Feng Shui as I go. I will definitely go back, once my house is finished and re-read the book entirely, or at least the highlighted areas. I have already recommended this book to friends.Product details

Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui 9781408493557 Books Reviews
I bought this book several years ago and it was so good, I got her Sacred Spaces book, too.
After taking her concepts to heart, I had a garage sale and grossed $3,000. So I know they work. <g>
Thank you, Karen. Everyone should read your book. We would be a better species for it.
A couple of years ago I bought eight books on de-cluttering (but not this one -- I didn't yet know it existed) to help me go through my own stuff; plus half a century of stuff I had inherited the job of sorting through. (A deceased friend had also inherited stuff from others, so, the job I faced was really de-cluttering belongings from not just two people, but from a lot more people than that.) With two of those books I had bought back then, I had made very good progress for quite a long while. My two favorites of those original books I had picked up -- ("Soul Space" by Xorin Balbes and "Breathing Room" by Lauren Rosenfeld and Dr. Melva Green) -- were very inspirational and helpful to me ... but after a while (a good long while!) my de-cluttering work hit a plateau, or a slow-way-down point, for reasons that I didn't fully understand. (I think, in hindsight, it was partly that such a mega-big improvement had been made already, at that point, that I couldn't imagine that much more needed to be done? More was arguably needed, but it felt like "diminishing returns" had set in, at some point.) Part of me had wanted to go further with discarding more stuff, but I couldn't get overly enthused about continuing -- so I found myself "resting on my laurels". Despite huge improvements in many areas, overall, something still felt somehow "off" -- but I couldn't logically pinpoint what or why, until I got this book. Within hours of getting a used copy of this book, though, and randomly flipping through it to get a quick overview, I found myself all excited about getting back to the task(s) at hand. I got right back into the swing of things once "flow of energy in a household" and "clotting" and other concepts were how I was thinking, instead of just "is there space for this item". I happily found myself quickly picking things, in my head, that I wanted to take another look at to see how I felt about them, in energy terms. By the time three hours had past, I had not just looked, but had made two or three trips to the dumpsters. When thinking of it in terms of a home's positive energy flow, and seeing the examples and analogies used in this book, it suddenly became easy to part with the "hardest items". When viewed strictly as "do you have room for this" and "is it stored neatly" I couldn't (formerly) get rid of some things; because I did actually have enough room for them, and they weren't in my way. Once I began seeing keeping the items as a "clotting" problem or a "flow" problem with a household's hidden or invisible energy, then that's what it took to get me to "flow" those items elsewhere. I should say that with my deceased friend (and her relatives and friend's) stuff, I had also found that a book called "Past and Present" is also very helpful. (Especially if you are the only person working to declutter a half-century's worth of a deceased friend's belongings; and the stuff that person had inherited from others, and had kept, just because so-and-so had owned it.) Those four de-cluttering books made a very good team, I thought! (Again, I should note if it was just my own stuff, I wouldn't have needed that many books! Decluttering my own stuff is easy enough that I might not have needed any books? But this isn't the first time that I got "stuck" with the job of going through a dead friend's stuff, and trying to respectfully find homes for anything worth saving -- so to me, having four favorite de-cluttering books, plus a few others that had okay ideas, made solid sense in my situation.) Anyway, those four favorite de-cluttering and life-changing books give me a very well-rounded series of ways to tackle big jobs. Soul Space and Breathing Room were good "logical books" that worked, I thought, very well for facing the sort of problems that systemic logic and your five senses works so well on perceiving and analyzing. This cool little book, and "Past and Present," helped me a lot, though, to go beyond that -- especially when "visible logic" had failed to give me a good enough answer as to what to do next with a particular series of items. I'll also be checking out this author's other books, before too long!
In my view, this is the best clutter-removal helper that I have found. I have given this book as gifts to at least six friends. In one case, it completely turned my friend's life around. That said, if one wants to clear clutter, the best questions to ask oneself are "Am I going use this in the next ten years of my life? Does this make me happy? Can someone else derive pleasure from this more than I can? I look at my kitchen, my home office, my library, my garage, etc. I am currently casting so many things away. As I do so, I feel much freer. I finally discarded the rest of my PhD materials today! I gave them to Salvation Army. Tomorrow will be the third day of disengaging from many of the things that were crucial to me before but are no longer. I am happy to think that some how these things will find happy homes! I have been intermittently involved in this de-cluttering for the past ten years. Today I have found myself to be ruthless I love the feeling! Have I had any regrets? Only a few. But then I will never again be the size of the dresses I gave away!
Excellent book. As a therapist I have recommended this book and as people begin the process of clearing out the physical junk, much of the mental issues begin to clear up and people do begin to move on with their lives.
I am in the middle of reading this ebook on my iPhone app at lunch. This book has inspired me to clear a lot of my clutter (old clothes I never wear, old books I don't like, makeup I don't use, etc.) - and I feel better and have more room in my condo as a result.
This book will stay with you long after it's read. This book is tremendously insightful on how to allow good energy to flow through your home while removing objects that are obstacles to the path of serenity. It deeply motivates you to take action.
I've always enjoyed living in an aesthetically pleasing environment. An environment that I enjoy coming home to and reluctant on leaving. This book has deeply motivated me to continue my Feng Shui journey. Removing clutter and aligning what I own to enhance my life. It's a book worth reading and re-reading (at least various highlighted areas) refreshing one's energy.
I believer it would have been more effective if certain chapters were omitted but I can see the value of adding those chapters, they simply didn't enhance me personally. It doesn't take away from the fact that it's an Amazing book for de-cluttering one's life by using the Feng Shui techniques.
I read the original long ago and have bought copies over the years as gifts. This time I sent the revised edition to a friend who is getting ready to move and needs support for getting rid of stuff! GREAT BOOK
