Summary: This book is very helpful and well organized.
Review: 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.

Summary: I Cannot Recommend This Book
Review: 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.

Summary: excellent and well presented.
Review: 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.

Summary: This book delivers!
Review: 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.

Summary: Good Pictures, but some material not accurate
Review: 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!

Summary: Good Pictures, but some material not accurate
Review: 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.

Summary: Best Feng Shui book yet
Review: This book is an excellent starter book for someone wanting to learn about Feng Shui. The author goes in depth describing the sources of the Feng Shui philosophy but also makes the reading easy to understand. The book is organized by rooms, which makes the book an excellent reference item for quick fixes.
