Not the rigorous fengshui, more on common sense advices.
- keep computer, workspace and meeting area clutter free
- sit comfortably
- positive attitude
- eat healthy, drink tea
- listen to calming music or white noise
- self acupuncture to relieve stress
- dress smart
- keep bills and finances well organized
- consider plants or aquarium as office deco
- offer help to colleagues
- good lighting
- keep to work hours
- make your name card auspicious and nice looking

The author also introduced an office bagua map which is quite generic.. I'm a bit skeptical of that as it doesn't require compass readings at all.

A perfect gift from my friend Lindsey, this book is teaching me how to create a more clutter-free working environment. If I have to spend to the majority of my time sitting at this desk, I might as well make my work space more zen!

[Kristi Holmes Espineira]

Cute, lightweight tips on feng shui. Mostly just common sense advice.
