Over the past 6 years I have bought other books on Feng Shui and this book by far, is the most easy to read. Because of this book, I could better understand the concept of decorating my house with good Feng Shui. Great backgrounder and explanations, clean, attractive layouts, practical illustrations, charts and photos help make the concept of Feng Shui so much easier to comprehend and achieve in my home. I have long heard of Feng Shui throughout my life in the Orient and now here in the Western world. This book is the closest I have gotten so far to having my own consultant come to my house. I am getting copies for my friends and relatives as gifts. They all should try Feng Shui to promote health, wealth and happiness in their homes and families. Yeah!

I have read and tried the cures from some other books on feng shui, but none has even come close with the effectiveness of this method. The changes I have made in my home have not only felt so good and right, but the desired effects have been practically immediate as well as lasting. Even my husband, who didn't really know what I was up to, had the same experience. This is a delightful book that one can delve into quickly or ponder over, as one wishes. I am really grateful to have come across it and would recommend it to everyone.

Practical Feng Shui: Arrange, Decorate and Accessorize Your Home to Promote Health, Wealth and Happiness

This handy feng shui book is probably not the best bet for the beginner, however as an adjunct to the feng shui library, it offers valuable advice on designing areas of the home to be in harmony. Specific details on items such as table settings will be of special interest. Furniture placement according to energy and room alignment will also be helpful.

Many photos and illustrations showing colors, furniture styles, placement, even fabric types are listed throughout.

This is a comprehensive book that is best for someone who is already grounded in Feng Shui. It stresses more traditional approaches to Feng Shui that will make more sense to someone who is beyond an introduction to Feng Shui or just beginning to dabble in it. There is a lot of helpful info in this book that an intermediate or advanced student of feng shui can readily understand and make use of in the home.

I have looked at a lot of books on this subject and this one is one of the best. Its presentation is interesting, it is well written, well illustrated, and most of all direct so that the reader who does not know a lot about Eastern religuin can get the concepts quickly. The examples are very good and directly related to real life problems. It is a very attractive book-the graphics are excellent.

The most important rule in Feng Shui is directions. They need to be accurate by using a compass. Your Kua Number or (Ki Number) gives you your personal direction which then designates where the proper placement of colors, objects and Feng Shui enhancers are placed in your surroundings. I think most people do not understand that Feng Shui can be detrimental if not applied properly. Never in a home is a missing corner or extension to a building beneficial.

If you were curious about the use of Feng Shui in your life and want to get started but not sure how, this is the book for you. It's a wonderful informative book full of color and ideas that create positive changes. It is easy to read, understand, and apply.
It's become a staple in our household. Even youngsters can benefit from it and have found it to be an interesting and fun read. (It has helped with keeping rooms a bit more orderly)
I've seen many books on this subject but this is "bar none" my favorite.
It makes a fantastic gift.

I have many books on Feng Shui, and this is the best, most practical, and most coherently organized.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the small purple candle jar with stars that is on the cover of this book. Also on page 100. I have looked everywhere but have been unable to find this. Thanks for your help. D. P.

I had heard a great deal about Feng Shui and was anxious to learn about it. A "hoping to be helpful" friend who knew even less than I did gifted me with this book. I waded through it and found this author to be so confusing and disorderly I nearly tore my hair out and darn near gave up on Feng Shui right here. I found it to be far too vague and disorganized and too much jumping back and forth between chapters required to get a complete, clear picture, which I never achieved with this book. This is not, in my opinion a good book for a beginner, it is too muddled and has too much "guess work" for the novice. I feel fortunate to have found other authors with a clearer view and a better ability to explain the inner workings of Feng Shui. I have been practicing Feng Shui for two years now and have doubled my income in my legal career, calmed and better organized my life, and found time to become the artist I dreamed of being. Feng Shui does work, but I didn't get the know-how from this author. Only the desire to find a better author.
