He starts by demystifying the many misunderstandings and myths surrounding Classical Feng Shui, before moving on to share his viewpoint on topics as diverse as the role -- or lack thereof -- of symbols and numbers in Feng Shui, to addressing more profound matters such as Yang and Yin House Feng Shui. This book ends with the author narrating his experience while taking his students to Walk the Mountains of China, in honing the latter's Feng Shui skills. In diversifying the topics in this sequel to cater to the avid Chinese Metaphysics enthusiast's thirst of knowledge, Joey also touches on other Chinese Metaphysical subjects such as BaZi (destiny analysis), Mian Xiang (Face Reading) and Yi Jing (The Science of Probability).
