5.0 out of 5 stars Feng Shui Confusion Cleared, February 13, 2006

By	L. Palazzolo (Treasure Coast, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have purchased several books in the pursuit of understanding and applying feng shui to my home. After all, I know that I feel better in rooms that are uncluttered and clean per basic feng shui principles. Therefore I hoped to dig deeper into feng shui applications to discover how to increase the sense of peace and comfort into my home.

This is the book that I needed to make sense of the other books that I own, although this book could just as easily stand on its own. Gabrielle Alizay has a simple, straightforward, and down-to-earth style of writing. She imparts her knowledge in an easily accessible manner and encourages readers to make the art of feng shui "their own." She doesn't bog readers down esoteric mumbo jumbo, but explains how gain positive results by personalizing things within one's own belief system.

Feng shui is not some mysterious religion, but rather a science of symbols and their effect on our subconscious mind. This was the book that cleared the confusion of feng shui and made it easy to understand how to put it into practice. When reading other books on feng shui, I use "Feng Shui for the Rest of Us" as a sort of feng shui encyclopedia or reference guide. But, if I could only keep one book on feng shui, this one would be it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book, even for the skeptic, November 26, 2005

By	T. Murray "yozhik" (Venice, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not the type who usually finds myself in the Feng Shui section of the bookstore (the book was a gift), and I'm not one to perform mystical rituals just because I read it somewhere. It is clear to me, however, that your environment can have a huge impact on your life, and that we could all do well to be more conscious of it.

What's different about this book is that it teaches you awareness without dogma. It shows you how to find the not-so-positive aspects of your surroundings and what to do about them. But, most important for me, it never wags the finger or says, "Do this or else." Rather it challenges you to try a change or two, in a way that works for you personally, and then builds upon the positive results. Impressive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Feng Shui for me...., January 13, 2006

By	Samantha Williams (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

I hardly knew about Feng Shui before I read this book--Plus, I really was not interested--so I guess I was a skeptic. A friend gave me the book for Christmas. And though I still am a skeptic to a degree, Alizay seems to describe Feng Shui in a way that I found surprisingly charming and easy to understand. I have tried a couple of her suggestions and I have been rather amazed. I had results! I am still not a complete convert, but the book is enjoyable to read, well-written, and worth the time investment for anyone to finally "get" a bit of comprehension on what this Feng Shui "frenzy" is all about.
