Summary: Gives Excellent Tips that worked for me
Review: Although I didn't even know what Feng Shui was when my wife bought the book, I have gotten really into it because of the difference it has made in our lives. Thank you Richard Webster. The book is easy to read and understand and if you are not familiar with Feng Shui now, you will be when you finnish the book. Good solid advice. Excellent tips. A great starting point. Well worth the price

Summary: This is not Feng Shui
Review: Don't waste your time or money on this book.
It is badly written, contradicts itself constantly, and the writter is obviously not an expert on the subject.
It is pure bull aimed for those looking for New Age solutions.
If you really want to learn about Feng Shui, read A master course in Feng Shui by Eva Wong. Be ready to do some study and hard thinking, but it is worth it. You'll realize that most of the books you've read on the subject are just based on the fact that we want to better our lives and fortunes and will practicaly do anything to achieve it. Don't let others get rich on behalf of your unkowledge. Research before you believe. Good luck.

Summary: Excellent and well-structured guide for the novice
Review: I am very new to feng shui but I wanted to learn more about it and incorporating it into my existing life. I liked the concepts of "The Celestine Prophecy" very much, and was interested in finding out how to maximize "ch'i", which seemsvery similar to the "energy" in CP. 101 Feng Shui Tips was extremely helpful to me. Not only did it explain the basic tenets of feng shui and the underlying philosphy about "ch'i" in a logical way, it provided practical guidance for analyzing your own space. Since I live in an apartment, the room by room discussions were very useful and applicable. I also like how the book didn't require you to have already a "perfect feng shui space". It gave a lot of pointers for maximizing good characteristics AND offsetting less than desirable characteristics. I wouldn't say I'm an expert now, by any means, but I feel like I have some general, practical ideas to use, now. I've heard he's coming out with a book directed specifically to apartment dwellers and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Summary: Good for beginners!
Review: I bought this book because I wanted to learn the basics of Feng Shui, and it met my needs just fine. If you are interested in something more in depth, you might want to look elsewhere, but if you're just getting started this is a very useful book!

Summary: Detailed book for beginners
Review: I liked this book, but the Bagua (octagon) was turned so that it did not point in the North direction. I found this confusing since other books conflicted with this book's bagua. Other than that, it has lots of great detail about the trigrams and other elements that would help you decorate and arrange your home to fit you personally.

Summary: Look at your home with new eyes
Review: I read the 10-Minute Clutter Control (Easy Feng Shui Tips for Getting Organized) before trying this book. That one was easier to grasp, but this one expanded my understanding of placing the grid on my living space. I didn't quite grasp how to use the trigrams in this book though.
The book gives about five pages talking about each room, then gives a page of brief tips to get you started.
Some of the tips seem so obvious, that you wonder what all the hype is about. It does make you take a new look at your surroundings and creates a desire to improve on it.
It was useful to me and is a book that I'll sample now and then to give me a fresh perspective on a room and its layout.
