5.0 out of 5 stars Feng Shui without fear!, July 6, 2004

This review is from: Feng Shui With What You Have: Maximum Harmony, Minimum Effort (Paperback)

I have browsed other books about feng shui that have made the subject seem impossibly arcane as well as very impractical for a westerner. FENG SHUI WITH WHAT YOU HAVE is accessible and clear; it not only explains what feng shui is and how it works as a philosophy, but also how you can put it to practical work in your home. One of the beauties of the book is that it's full of advice whose implementation requires only your attention and some time--you can make many positive improvements without spending a cent. I keep going back to the book as I tackle one problem spot or another in my home. In the long term relationship between you and your space, this book is a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun with feng shui!!, August 17, 2004

This review is from: Feng Shui With What You Have: Maximum Harmony, Minimum Effort (Paperback)

As a college student, I found Feng Shui with What You have an insightful book on how to make any living space harmonious without breaking the bank. The book contained many great tips on how to create a stylish yet comforting environment using what you already own. After using the remedies found in the book to properly feng shui my apartment, it transformed into a more welcoming space. The book combines ancient feng shui methods with contemporary trends. By making simple changes to the placement of my furniture and by adding touches of specific colors, my apartment and the mood of all those in the apartment changed for the better. I would recommend Feng Shui with What You Have to anyone looking to make an improvement to not only their living space but their life in general.

I love this book. I own several feng shui books, and this one has explained more about feng shui than any other. It's easy to understand and the way they explain it makes a lot of sense. I recommend this book for beginners and people who are familiar with the subject. If you are going to by a book on feng shui, this is the one to buy. This is now my favorite book. This was a great read and good future reference. Since I applied the tips in this book, I am more at ease with my surroundings, and have even seen a positive change in my money situation.
