[Union County Library · Rating 4 out of 5]

A non-fiction primer for those who wish to pursue tranquility and happiness within the home using feng shui (a traditional practice that originated in Ancient China and which claims to use energy forces to harmonize the home environment). Advice is offered on placement of the home for those who are building, and ways to correct inefficient energy flow for those who already occupy a home. An interesting look at the "where" of home, window, furniture and art placement is so important.

Will I put feng shui into practice? No. Was it interesting? Yes… but in an educational way, not a spiritual way. It’s so much more than 20 second videos on TikTok about how you should decorate your home. There’s soooooo much to it and it honestly made me feel exhausted for people who are trying to perfect it in their homes.

Had misleading and incorrect information, as proven by a simple Google search. Not sure where she got her information from, but I would in no way say this is the only book one should read to learn about Feng Shui.

Very disappointed. Author contradicted herself within the first 20 pages. Mixed up traditional and more watered down western version of Feng Shui. This is a series of “plain and simple books”. I suggest trying the “dummy” version.

"Potted a plants that come from jungles or rainforests should be used only if you belong to a water element." Knowing what element you belong is an important move. I really enjoyed 162 pages of this plain and simple guide to Fengshui.

I really didn't think that I'd like this book, but it was a fun and informative read. I came away with a better understanding of Feng Shui and I feel the urge to learn more.

A decent beginners guide to Feng Shui.

[Andi · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit confusing to actually implement all the cures the author mentions. It seems like you have to take into account a lot of things to get the optimal outcomes.

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and sweet. Doesn’t contain much info. I wouldn’t call this a primer but just a short fun book about feng shui.

this was the only book I found at the library on Feng Shui and while it did introduce me to a bagua map which is useful, the information in this book was too brief.
