Feng Shui is an Asian concept that strives to unlock your chi by how your home or office is arranged. Or at least that's the simplified "Western" version. It's a little more complicated than that in reality. We'll unlock your chi by explaining how feng shui works in this classic episode.

AI Summary

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the ancient practice of feng shui—the Chinese art of arranging your space to allow the energy force known as chi to flow freely and harmoniously. They explore the surprising origins of this practice, which some trace back over 5,000 years to both China and India, and break down the three main schools of feng shui from traditional compass-based methods to the Western "black hat" approach that's become popular since the 1980s. The guys explain the five elements, the mysterious bagua map grid that supposedly reveals which areas of your home affect different aspects of your life, and share practical tips on everything from where to place your toilet to why you should always face your office door—because apparently, your chi depends on it.
