A Good Start, But Too Basic

This book contains a great and concise history of Feng Shui, but is written so that it gets kind of confusing as not enough detail is given to remedy situations. For example, I still don't understand this "Pointed Arrow" thing, because wherever I look, I see jutting corners. However, it's an excellent book for beginners like me because of it's broad overview and interesting history.

At Last Feng Shui Makes Sense!

I have tried many books on feng shui and found them really confusing and even a bit weird. Lagatree's book helped me understand what feng shui is and how it works. I've already had good results by following her clear explanations. I highly recommend this book!

I wish I'd read this book before I bought my last house!!!!

I should have known! The feng shui just wasn't right for an art gallery in that little Victorian house by the sea on the coast of Maine!!! The chi--or life energy--flew down the staircase and out the front door whenever it opened, and the large gallery rooms lacked accessibility from the front of the house--customers had to wind their way through the hall to get there. Now that that little unsuccessful venture is over, I'll use Kirsten Lagatree's Feng Shui to design my new house to maximize happiness and abundance in my new life in the DC area. Little water fountains will keep the chi, or life energy flowing, and yellow flowers in the southeast corner will keep my marriage harmonious. A mirror will face the front door to deflect any poison arrows that might shoot directly in from the street, and my many little animal sculptures will find their optimum positions to bring their benevolent energies into my home. It may sound like hocus pocus--but who cares? It can't hurt, and it could really help, and in any case, I'm sure I'll find great enjoyment in bringing the principles of feng shui into my interior design.

Fascinating!

Some people get a little bit obsessed about Feng Shui, but here is an informed, clear-headed look at a fascinating subject. This book will change your thinking about a whole lot more than where the hassock is placed. Lagatree's ongoing columns in the Los Angeles Times just continue to reel out more things you never thought about. Try it! It's the thing you never knew you'd do this week. And you'll be glad you did.

A wonderful book on the subject of Feng Shui.

I came to this book knowing almost nothing about Feng Shui. I is an easy to read, enjoyable and thoroughly understandable book about the subject. I very much like her practical approach to this topic. I was able to make small adjustments both at home and in my work space and really make a difference. I found that by following her instructions and moving some furniture and adding some plants and other small items it really did add an increased sense of harmony to my home. The changes in my work space allowed me to be more productive.Lagatree is an excellent writer. Her use of humor is appreciated. I think anyone who has an interest in Feng Shui will find this book helpful and a delight. I am looking forward to reading her book on Feng Shui in the work place.
