Synopsis:
If you thought that feng shui was just interior design, think again! Feng shui is the ancient Chinese system of harmonizing the person with his or her surroundings through the subtle manipulation of chi, or universal energy. Negotiate with Feng Shui teaches you how to sense and balance chi in your body and your environment, creating a win-win situation for both parties involved in any negotiation.
We all negotiate every day, although we might not think of many of our social interactions as negotiations. Whether you are buying a car, closing a business deal, hammering out an international treaty, or just dealing with an unruly teenager, you can use feng shui to analyze advantageous locations, select auspicious moments, and maximize compatibility between the parties.
Negotiate with Feng Shui is unlike any other feng shui book. Author Jose Armilla shows you how to apply feng shui techniques to everyday situations like buying a car or asking for a pay raise. Using the straightforward techniques presented in this book, you will:
·Learn how to sense positive and negative chi in the body and in the environment
·Discover the secret to picking auspicious times and dates for important meetings
·Learn how to feng shui your present house as well as your dream house, including examples of positive and negative layouts
·Get tips on bargaining - everywhere from the flea market to the Internet
·Learn ancient blessings that improve the vibrations of the meeting place
In part two of this groundbreaking book, the author, a retired United States diplomat, examines how feng shui works in the "real world." Discover the role feng shui has played in historic peace talks associated with the Opium War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. Negotiate the feng shui way and encourage success and happiness for everyone involved!
From the Publisher:
One of the things I have always wanted for Llewellyn is to publish practical books. That's why I like Jose Armilla's Negotiate with Feng Shui.
This book has two purposes. First, it will give you advice about better bargaining and negotiation. Armilla is well suited for this task. He has negotiated with foreign professionals who submitted bids to do U.S.-commissioned studies in selected countries. He honed his bargaining skills interacting with rug merchants in Teheran, with designer clothing peddlers in Hong Kong, with itinerant art dealers in Bangkok, and with rare seashell merchants in the Philippines. He is a member of the American Foreign Service Association and the American Psychological Association.
The second purpose is to show how you can use feng shui to your advantage in situations that require bargaining. To do this he has revealed, for the first time anywhere, the secrets of Black Hat Tantric Buddhist feng shui. With this information you may be able to turn any negotiating situation to your favor.
The only way to tell if something is practical is to prove that it works. And Armilla proves exactly that. He provides numerous examples of important and historically famous negotiations and how the feng shui of the location either helped or hindered the discussion.
So there you have it. In this book, you will learn secrets of negotiation, secrets of feng shui to give you the advantage in negotiations, and historical proof of the effectiveness of this system. You'll also find a bibliography for further study and even a glossary so you will understand the meaning of the specialized words in this book and in others.
This book is a remarkable achievement that can improve your life with its easy exercises and helpful advice. It is something you can use. It is something that can make a difference in your life.
