Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: Move your stuff Change your life was easy to read. I started implementing suggestions right away. I also got rid of a lot of clutter. It was fun to do and helpful. I now want to read more on the subject. I also decorated my husbands new office and every one seems to like it better than all the other offices. I used feng shui to decorate the office and the desk. I feel better already.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Get Your Feet Wet
Review: This book is a good introduction into the world of Feng Shui. It's lighthearted approach makes it an easy read -- and it has succeeding in turning me on to studying the practice more seriously. (I felt that many other feng shui books are overwhelming and intimidating for beginners). The tongue-in-cheek humor gets a little tiring at times... but all in all, I did learn many principles that I started to apply right away.

One suggestion to the author: an index would have been helpful.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I bought this book thinking, from the reviews I read here, that this book would be an easy approach to Feng Shui BUT I was disappointed. This is Black Hat Feng Shui. If you want to believe that the far left corner of your home is the WEALTH corner then you are in for some major disappointments. I think that 1500 years of Compass and Form Feng Shui makes more sense. Each direction of the house represents an element. This book has it all backwards.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Feng Shui basics
Review: Pros

Easy reading and sometimes could be fun.

Enough diagrams to explain the issues and the principles within the book

Cons

Too much of rigid approach to Feng Shui principles.

In general I recommend the book, especially for the price.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Makes Feng Shui Sense AND Makes It Fun!
Review: I've read a number of feng shui books over the years, but none of them have made as much sense as Karen's very practical, but authentic approach to feng shui. Beginners will find it easy to read and understand AND more advanced feng shui practioners will also find many new and VERY innovative ideas for this fascinating subject. We've had Karen at our bookstore for an autographing and she's soon to return to give a seminar...our customers love her and her book as much as we do! It's no wonder she just made the best seller list with the book!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mystical hogwash
Review: If one wants to learn about rearranging one's environment to be more pleasing and spiritually rewarding, then feng shui is worth looking at. However, "Move Your Stuff" isn't about interior decoration -- it's about magic.

If you think that putting red tape in the drain under your sink will keep your chi from escaping, and that putting flowers made of construction paper under the floormat of your car, then this book is for you -- it's jammed full of such useful tidbits. If you're hoping to gain useful information about interior decorating, look elsewhere.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Move Your Stuff..." Gets you moving!
Review: I could not recommend a better book for fellow Fung Shui followers! Whether you are a beginner just learning the ropes, or an expert in search of new ideas, Karen Rauch Carter combines creativity, wisdom and wit to get you moving your stuff and changing your life!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It makes sense
Review: After reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to order this book. I was not disappointed. Too many books on Feng Shui come out geared towards people who have a clue about what they are doing. This book helps those of us, who are just learning about Feng Shui...it is easy to read and gets you pumped up to change your life.

I would recommend this book to ANYONE who wants to see what Feng Shui is about. If you want to know more, you can always advance to other books that are more detailed on the subject. But, Karen Rauch Carter's book is an excellent start.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Decent content hidden by simplistic and giddy writing
Review: If you are simply looking for a book that can tell you the practical ways you can bring feng shui into your life, and you don't care about the tone in which the book is written, then you may like this book. I, however, was very put off by the silly, almost giddy way the author writes. The minute I read that the Love/Relationship corner of a house is the area you want to work on if you're looking for a "shagadelic good time," I was done. Now I am off I go to try to find a book that treats the art of feng shui, and those who are interested enough in the world around them to learn about it, in a more respectful way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's like being shot from a cannon!
Review: Life isn't what you hoped for? Household not working for you? Get this book, and at the same time get the book _Clear Your Clutter_ by Karen Kingston, and you'll have all the Feng Shui tools a Western person needs to start to tackle improving the energy that affects everything in your life. You don't need strength of character, a pleasing personality, or organizational ability to take productive action. Start with the Kingston book, which will set you to pouncing on your clutter with a clarity of purpose you probably haven't had in decades, then move on to _Move Your Stuff_ and really start viewing your environment with deliberation.

I have read other books on Feng Shui, and these two are remarkable in their ability to inspire. _Move Your Stuff_ is great fun, well-written, and will explain things quickly. Guidelines are specific enough to let you take action (including identifying Feng Shui challenges so big you may want to call in the pros), but not so cookbook that you can't be creative about things and make your living space truly inspiring to you. Get this book. Get this book. Get this book. It's more fun than you can imagine.
