Myths and Metaphysics with Datuk Joey Yap

Not many people can command an audience of thousands to sit up and listen by just uttering a handful of words or say they are the bestselling author of 182 books (and counting) published in seven different languages worldwide—except Datuk Joey Yap. It’s a superpower on a whole new level.

Founder of the Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics and chief consultant of the Joey Yap Consulting Group, the 45-year-old is a household name for all things feng shui (which means wind and water in Chinese), an ancient Chinese traditional practice which uses energy forces to harmonise individuals with their surrounding environment.

Aside from the occasional anime-watching, travelling the world, and snowboarding, the respected consultant and teacher spends most of his time imparting the principles of feng shui in large-scale seminars and intimate workshops, as well as playing a one-on-one advisory role to his clientele. He also seeks to debunk the myths surrounding the man behind his name and also, educating others about his field of study.

In this issue of Tatler and in conjunction with welcoming the Year of the Water Tiger, we sit down with the world-renowned expert to chat about his journey to mastery and all things Chinese metaphysics.
