Reviews

[AngiJo · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good, simple, introduction to Feng Shui and how it applies to interior decorating. The chapters focusing on the kitchen, living spaces, and bedrooms are more useful than those devoted to the office and outdoor space. The room-by room before and after examples are the most useful (bad feng shui vs. good feng shu) as are the list of general feng shui rules that appear in each chapter. The authors could do a better job of explaining and providing practical applications of potentially complicated concepts like the cycle of the five elements, the 8 Trigrams, and lo shu magic square. I would not rely on this book as my only source of learning abut Feng Shui.
