5.0 out of 5 stars Great for anyone., June 24, 2006

By	Spread the Word "Jamia" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

I have purchased a lot of books on Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra. This is one of the easiest to read and understand that I have. It is constructed in an easy to follow layout with simple instruction. I love also that they give you the cure on the same page as the problem, and you don't have to search for it, or buy another source to find out what to do about a negative energy. The workbook checklists are so convienient, and the page that corresonds to the question on the checklist is written beside it. Very well thought out. I do believe that anyone would benefit from this book. Blessings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A basic must have . . ., July 16, 2008

By	E. Drake (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of my two favorite feng shui books, Jay Tanzer's book enabled me to picture and understand the flow of chi energy, and why we want it to speed up, or slow down, or circulate better, or capture more of it. He tells us what to look for in a house and lot, and points out the worst case senarios that can't be overcome. He explains the difference between the various feng shui schools of thought with refreshing objectivity. And while most feng shui consultants say you shouldn't mix the various systems of feng shui, Mr. Tanzer looks at the different systems as supporting each other rather than producing a "these medicines can't be taken together" syndrome! After you read his book, you'll need other books for info on how to fix the problem areas in your house. But you'll understand your other books better after reading this book. Jay Tanzer is a gifted writer and his book flows like a favorite novel. You don't just read this book, you experience it.
