Confusing from traditional Feng Shui, July 10, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Feng Shui: Your Practical Guide to Health, Wealth and Happiness (Hardcover)
I bought this book because it was "pretty". It has lots of wonderful pictures and looked like just the thing to get a visual understanding of Feng Shui, particularly when using the North-South orientation instead of the front door orientation that most other books use. The trouble was, when I got it home and studied it, I found that it recommended colors for each of the areas of the bagua to be quite different from the traditional view by most authors I have read. Perhaps there is merit to this change from tradition, but for someone who isn't an expert, this leads to extreme confusion in trying to utilize this book as a supplement to other books. I certainly don't recommend it as a first book on Feng Shui either, there are so many other books that offer greater detail for beginners (Check out author Lilian Too, for one).
