Format:Paperback
This book takes you from knowing nothing about Feng Shui to understanding the breadth of the subject. It covers a number of theories, which I found very interesting, but confusing. A number of the theories seem to conflict with each other, and it became difficult to work out how you could apply them to yourself. This is especially true when you're sharing a home, and your signs are in conflict with your partner.
If you're interested in Feng Shui and are thinking about moving house, this would be a good book to tell you what to look for.
Later chapters concentrate on different areas of your life, eg career, relationships, and give advice on how you can enhance those areas. This is the part I was interested in on buying the book, and found it didn't tell me enough.
A good book as part of a set, and a good starting point.

An excellent introductory book to Feng Shui....
13 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
I found myself not reading the book from front to back but instead skipping around. First I looked for the basic fundamentals of how it worked then I started to compare how I could change my own environment from the information that was provided. Her book layout was simply and easy to apply. I did find it confusing when I read Lillian Too's books and then randomly read more books about Feng Shui not realizing there are different sectors of Feng Shui depending on the Master that taught them. Just a tip for someone picking up their first Feng Shui book.

Little or no practical solutions to get started
14 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
The history on feng shui was present but this book was far from a complete illustrated guide. Complete being the operative word here. I found myself needing to order another book immediately so I could now find out how to apply even some basics to my home. Just when she would say you need to position something for good or bad chi she would drop off into thin air. Even the illustrations in the back of the book are minimal at best, actual application from reading this book is almost non-existent. I can't believe I actually paid good money for this. I see she has written too many books on the subject which is why I think this one might be vague, so you need to buy each one to get a little more information. This has only sent me to other authors. I really hope no greed was intended here. Now that's bad chi.

Helpful guide but not for the beginner
15 July 1998
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read a number of books on FengShui, and found this book beautifully illustrated. It offered many details about the background and different types of feng shui methods, which while informative could be very confusing to a beginner. I agree with the other reviewers that although it was reader friendly, it offered few or too brief solutions and the possible need for another book. Perhaps her smaller books would be good companions to this one. Just-A-Note: At the same time I bought this, I also ordered CREATING SACRED SPACE with FENG SHUI, Learning the Art of Space Clearing by KAREN KINGSTON. After reading both books, I consider SACRED SPACE to be a must have, a book that should always be the first feng shui book anyone reads. It can change your life.
