Summary: Not a beginning...
Review: As a neophyte to Feng Shui, this book appealed to me because it contained many examples of how to apply Feng Shui to everyday situations. Unfortunately, I found the book to be poorly organized - extracting information that could be useful in my everyday life wasn't intuitive. Feng Shui is an ancient and complex art - and it seems the only message that I got out of this book is I need to pay a consultant to apply Feng Shui to my environment.

Summary: A practical reference to add to your library...
Review: I have a number of books on Feng Shui, and while I'll admit this is not the most comprehensive, it certainly is full of practical information which I refer to. The author goes into a lot of detail with regard to the various room shapes and house shapes which I found helpfull. There are lots of illustrations which show the flow of chi and its effects.But the most interesting thing about this book is, when I followed her instructions regarding the placement of furniture in my husband's home office, the effect was almost immediate, and profound! My husband was looking for a job at that time, and had been through several interviews, but nothing definate had happened. I had just gotten this book, and after reading it, completely re-arranged the office. Within an hour of doing so, my husband got not one, but two job offers over the phone! I don't believe in coincidences, and think this made a definite difference. My advice is, try it, you might like it.

Summary: regarding the question authenticity reviewer
Review: I have done an amazing amount of research about the subject and I found the web site that this San Francisco person saw. There are 2 types of Feng Shui: compass school (Eva Wong) and form school (Sarah Rossbach and Lin Yun). Apparently the form school is similar to studying sun signs of a persons chart to find their personality. It is a starting point to continue from. The compass school is very detailed and individualized like the most detailed horoscope drawn to detail your life events. It is hard to truly Feng Shui a living space without preparation, such as doing Chinese horoscopes on the members of the household, seeing the lay of the land and finding the orientation of the building. All these factor in. Form school (Lin Yun) is basically good interior decorating and not true Feng Shui. This is a wonderful place to start, but is not the totality of the subject. Feng Shui is a true science and readers are encouraged to research more on the subject!

Summary: Not necessarily the place to begin.
Review: I'd had this book recommended to me as a good one with which to begin to understand Feng Shui. While I will agree that aspects of it were clear and full of practical application (the examples of room layouts, etc.), in general I found the book to be poorly organized and certainly not enough in and of itself to gain a basic understanding of Feng Shui. I found that I learned enough to be interested further, and got some practical advice about furniture placement. Not where I would send a beginner, however.

Summary: Questioning Authenticity
Review: This and other books by students of feng shui "master" Lin Yun are in question regarding their authenticity. After ordering three books online of this school, I happened upon quite a few articles and newsgroups when scouring the internet where other feng shui practitioners were quite strong in expressing their opinion that the "Black Hat" sect is not genuine feng shui. I'm not in a position to be able to judge it myself, but the doubt has left me feeling disheartened and less interested in the books. Unfortunately, there appears to be quite a lot of less than genuine practitioners in feng shui.

Summary: The Classic-Dull but Essential
Review: This is the book that ignited American interest in Feng Shui 20 years ago. It takes the subject matter very seriously, and is not light reading--nor should it be. Feng Shui is a discipline that requires study to master. For anyone who wants to honor the art and science of Feng Shui, this book is an essential text and reference.

Summary: The Bible of Feng Shui
Review: This should be considered the first and foremost guide to Feng Shui. With a metaphysical/new age trend running rampant, people interested in mixing eastern culture and spirituality with our impatient and wasteful western world, need this book before any other.
