Customer Reviews

Feng Shui Step by Step is a good beginners guide

Readers will enjoy the simplicity and care put into this book.

Good beginner's book, especially for busy but curious folks.

This is a good introduction to both the concepts and techniques of feng shui. While it does lack some of the background and detail of the meaning of feng shui, it gets you started quickly and guides you through the analysis of your space, so you can begin to experience the effects of being more aware of your surroundings and their influence on your daily existence. Good job!

Glad this lazy American stumbled across it.

This book is awesome!! I have no idea what the disgruntled reader below would recommend - either pshyciatric treatment or flying someone in from China to do your house, I guess. I feel the author's command of Chinese really helped interpret Feng Shui in terms that Americans can both understand and immediately apply!! Rock On!!

The best and simplest explanation of and guide to feng shui

This is the best book yet I've read about feng shui, and I have about five other books on this subject. The author explains everything so that any idiot can understand how to make their home more feng shui. So easy to understand now with straight forward steps that other books just don't give.

Great for beginners

I'm neither lazy nor stupid. I have tried to read many books on Feng Shui with very little success. I am someone who has never been exposed to the Chinese culture (except in restaurants). This book provided a great start. Being a computer person, I love the methodical approach, the worksheets, and the charts. I highly recommend this book.

Terrific step-by-step approach, extremely useful

I have read a lot of books on feng shui, and this was the most useful of all. The author methodically walks you through each step, in an in-depth manner. Most feng shui books tell you to "put something there, put something here" but this book tailors everything to YOU THE READER. It starts out with basic Chinese astrology charts (I was skeptical but patient). After that, you work with your own floor plan and possible colors and furniture arrangement. The chapter that was most meaningful to me was on clutter, and the relationship of clutter to problems in your life. Lo and behold, we had clutter in each financial corner of every room in our house. As soon as I read it, I dropped the book, jumped up and cleaned out each corner (you'll have to read the book to find out which corner of each room that is). Our financial worries are vastly reduced since that time 3 months ago, and I've gone to apply the principles quite seriously. Even my little children know not to let things pile up in the corners because Mommy says its "bad luck."
