5.0 out of 5 stars Very handy guide, August 29, 2004

By	thought stream - See all my reviews

I love this book because it offers information I could use right away. This book is very handy and immensely readable. It has chapters devoted to each area of the house, such as the bedroom, dining room, home office, etc. The illustrations are clear and appealing. Feng shui I think is basically good housekeeping and design taken to another level--where the flow of universal energy or chi is taken into major account. In other words, it aims to please both my mom :) and my inner spirit. After a while you develop an intuitive common sense of connection with your living space. Pretty neat. I'm buying copies to give away as gifts to some of my friends.
