Of all the books I have read on feng shui over the last four years, this is the WORST I have ever seen. The author continually tells readers to implement changes that are not sanctioned in feng shui. For example, he tells readers to use mirror tiles and design elaborate baths (pg. 160-161) even though experts (e.g., Master Lam Kam Chuen, Lillian Too) say not to. He advocates placing the microwave in the Northwest (pg. 82), which represents poor feng shui (i.e., "fire at heaven's gate"). He also continually demonstrates an improper use of mirrors (e.g., pgs. 41, 107, 130, 134). There are many other "feng shui cures" suggesed by the author which feng shui experts warn against doing because they will supposedly bring bad luck. I have read a number of basic feng shui books that I thought presented more trustworthy information than this one does.

If you don't want to spend 6 months or so learning Feng Shui, start with this book.

It's the fundamentals. It's the jist of Feng Shui. It takes only 2 or 3 nights to read the whole book. It allows you to see what the principles of Feng Shui are, and then loosely apply it to your home.

I have now read 4 books on this subject, and this is the only one I finished. I wish I would have found this book first.

I have collected a few books on Feng Shui, however none quite as comprehensive and easy to follow as Ian Bruce's "Plan Your Home With Feng Shui". I have to thank a very good friend for recommending it after she transformed her home and life. I am now excited about processing my own transformation in my home, and life!
