Explained the background and origins of feng shui and then explained, space by space, what the goals are for that area. The layouts designated were very intuitive and user friendly. Recommended for both new and seasoned users, a great survey.

I have always wanted to learn about Feng Shui and this was the PERFECT book to do that. It explained it all so well and then gave great tips. The only downside was the "10-minute" title threw me off as it was 210 pages long. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your book.

This book offers a nice easy to understand explanation of Feng Shui and the message behind setting your intention and having harmony and balance in your environment. The author explains how our homes mirror our internal, emotional states and how Feng Shui and decluttering can help. I really love that all the suggestions take ten minutes or less! I enjoyed learning even more about colors and how they can affect how we feel and/or what we attract into our lives. I really enjoy chapter five which focused on prosperity, love, happiness and one's well-being. Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Reading this immediately after Alexander's 10-Minute Decluttering was not the wisest choice, as it began to feel repetitive. This book focuses on only feng shui, and so expands on ideas already introduced in 10-Minute Decluttering. Still a great comprehensive read on the principles of feng shui!

A truly wonderful book, and certainly the best book I've seen on Feng Shui. Not because it's the most extensive in theory, but because it's practical and gives very down to earth explanations and a huge amount of practical examples. Very well written and in a good format.

Having read a book by Skye Alexander before I knew this would be an informative and interesting read.

The book begins with a basic explanation of what Feng Shui is and how it works. Then it goes onto the 10 minute ideas for your house broken down into areas. I enjoyed the book and liked a lot of the ideas. I did find some of the book a bit repetitive near the end however.

I think this book would be good for folks just starting out using Feng Shui in their homes or as a wee reminder of what to do if like me you have been using it for a longer time.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quatro Publishing for the ARC. My review is my own opinion.

This book gives a basic understanding of the philosophy for Feng Shui and how to use the ideas practically in your home. If you want to learn more about the idea past just a fade, this would be a great place to start The book is broken down into simple steps hence the 10-Minute name. It is easy to read and understand the concepts include.

Liked the fengshui tips.
Very helpful.
Just wish that I would have been able to read this as an kindle arc. The other apps are not very reliable.


Note: I received a free e-copy of the book via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. Special thanks to the author and publisher for giving me a chance to read it.

This publisher always has beautifully designed books. This book gives a nice overview of feng shui principles and then explains how to apply them. Some are pretty common sense like having good lighting and fixing appliances when they break. Personally, I didn't relate as much to the design principles that are supposed to attract wealth, as I'm more of a minimalist and am not focused on making a lot of money. But if you're struggling with getting started in making your home the way you want it, this might be the master plan to help you get going.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC!

This book was filled with not only ways to feng shui every room in your home, but also information on the benefits for each suggestion. I found it interesting and have tried several suggestions.

Was this review helpful?

10 Minute Feng Shui is a book chock-a-block full of information. The first part of the book discusses the principles of Feng Shui. The second part of the book puts the Feng Shui into action. The book covers every room in your home as well as wardrobe and your office. There are so many simple cures to implement that I had to bookmark the pages where I want to go back. The author suggests that the reader implement a few changes to see how those aspects of your life improves. Very interesting book. While the concept itself is ancient the way the book explains and implements the concept is new and improved.

I REALLY like this book. I’ve been following Feng Shui for over 15 years, after a friend gifted me with a book about it. I may not believe that closing the toilet lid will protect my money, but much of the advice on how to keep your home laid out and decorated just feels right (and it’s easy enough to keep the toilet lid down!). There are a lot of aspects to Feng Shui, and you can take or forget whichever parts you like. It’s not about magic, it’s about feeling at peace in your home, so taking Feng Shui directions that feel right to you will bring happiness.

This particular book is great. It starts with an introduction to what Feng Shui is. There is no need to follow every Feng Shui suggestion, you decide where you need help and what works for you. Then the book gives hundreds of 10-minute fixes, meaning any change will take 10 minutes or less. Again, there is no need to follow every suggestion in the book, you choose what you can do, according to what you want to do. Hang a mirror over the stove? I can do that. Place a jade plant in the kitchen window? I can do that too. Will it help my finances? Well it will make my kitchen look nice at the very least! Will cleaning under my bed keep me healthy? It certainly won’t make me sick.

The last part of the book lists things that will take more than 10 minutes but less than a day. Painting, installing, planting and organizing.

Honestly, reading through Feng Shui books make me feel energized to get things done, and this book is chock full of helpful EASY ideas. Most Feng Shui ideas revolve around keeping your home clean and beautiful, and there can be plenty magical about having a happy home.

Feng Shui is for those who want to make small changes in their life, and those who like the more extreme Marie Kondo way of life. For people who believe in the power of crystals and for people who believe hanging wind chimes and a mirror certainly wouldn’t hurt. Maybe you know you should get that drippy faucet fixed, but reading how it can affect your well-being might push you to get it done this weekend.

I thought this was just going to be a short quick overview, but instead it is a really helpful guide that is full of easy ideas. Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I wholeheartedly recommend this book, and I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting to give it 5 stars.

A nice companion to the author’s book on decluttering. This volume goes into much more detail about the principles of feng shui and how those principles apply to arranging a comfortable home.

10-Minute Feng Shui is a very interesting book and well written. There are some great ideas and quick ways to do a little Feng Shui in a small amount of time.

A great introduction to Feng-Shui,especially for a beginner.

As a novice myself, I found the book very interesting.Starting from its origins,the author offers quick and easy ideas to apply to different situations and areas of your life.
What I loved is that everyone can take inspiration easily without being obliged to follow religiously all of the tips.

As someone who has been interested in feng shui but has never bothered to learn anything about it, this book was great! Explains all the principles and practices step by step as well as the theory behind everything - especially loved how the book was broken down into each room/area of the house to truly hone in on the best ways to capture the art of feng shui. Will definitely be putting this book into practice when I move out of home.

A great book for an introduction, or re-exploration into Feng Shui. I enjoyed reading through this guide and learning more about this fascinating subject.

Thank you Quatro and Netgalley for this ARC.

I have always wanted to understand Feng Shui and had tried before but this made it a little more simple.
Explanations were good and the tips were great.

The book took more than 10 minutes to read thankfully!
