I've read (or tried to read) several books on Feng Shui over the years and this is probably the best I've come across. But I still couldn't finish it.
I feel like I have at least a basic understand of ch'i but I have a hard time translating that into actionable steps for architecture and placement. Over and over again the book says things that can't be put into action such as strong ch'i being good except when it's bad. And not enough ch'i is bad except when it's good.
I mean, it fits with the basic all-encompassing nature of Tao, but it isn't helping me.
Anything passed down for generations usually has a practical aspect that goes hand in hand with it's spiritual nature. So I'm always looking for the underlying foundational principles. I thought I was finding it here when the discussion of courtyards said a main structure to the North blocks the wind while allowing in the winter sun from the South, but that's about as specific as I ever found.
I'm going to move on with my life and accept that I will never understand how adding a light at one end or a property, or painting a pole a specific color, or adding mirrors can somehow be responsible for changing someone's career and family fortune.

I was pleasently surprised that this wasnt all about furniture placement, i had no idea about rural/urban feng shui and had a great time reading through this book!

Fairly interesting, but also got a bit repetitive. Got a few ideas for setting up my new apartment.
