EcoChi: Designing the Human Experience

When Duneier's corporate gift business failed, her husband filed for divorce, and her children went off to college, she made a drastic change: she moved to Manhattan and got her real estate license. On a whim, she decided to investigate feng shui, using what she learned to develop her EcoChi System. In this accessible how-to, Duneier outlines the tenets of EcoChi, which combines the teachings of feng shui, sustainable living, and environmental psychology in order to "create an inviting atmosphere and a place where people feel safe, secure, and embraced," whether in a home, office, or public facility. Duneier cites many EcoChi success stories, including Ann, who found love after changing the art on the wall opposite her bed, and Steven, a former hoarder who gave up much of his clutter. In the final chapter, the author lays out very specific ways you can change your outlook on life with the EcoChi system and make your home or facility more pleasant and environmentally friendly. Duneier's prose is clear and articulate and her system is easy to understand and implement.
