Trade Review
Serge Augier's understanding of the Ba Zi is second to none. Not only does he make complex and profound knowledge accessible to everyone, he also gives a clear methodology on how to use Ba Zi to manage your everyday life. It really is a life transforming book! -- Arnaud Bouvet, Chief Marketing Officer at Cubiks and Business Psychologist
As a specialist in human behaviour, I need tools that work. And this is what Serge Augier's Ba Zi does! It gives impactful insights on people's drivers and inner tensions, which are easily used to initiate change. This book will provide you with invaluable information that will shed light on your personality like no other. -- Caroline Chéneau, Clinical Psychologist, Coach and Intercultural Specialist
Ba Zi is one of the powerful and secret arts of the Ba Men Da Xuan tradition. It allows us to better understand who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, our resources and aspirations, but also our potential and how we manage our relationships with others. A better understanding of these elements allows us to enjoy a smooth life and to increase our chances of success. -- Sébastien Nunes, Head of Innovation and Fintech at a leading European bank
During the process of selling our company and negotiating with the leading firms, Serge Augier's Ba Zi really helped. He could tell us what to do and when, and even tell us the feeling of the meetings in advance. That was incredible, especially for those of us who don't believe in astrology. We sold better and sooner because of his advice. His understanding of Ba Zi is really amazing. -- Xavier D, VP of Corialis, Oil and Gas Company Partners
