[.ca] The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Creating Balance, ... (ISBN 1561703249)

I need new copy because a friend swiped mine:
I found this book very helpful. It was originally reviewed by a student of mine for a college class which led me to buy Collins' other book "Feng Shui Room by Room". I like the other book even better (I would give it 5 stars). These books bring the concepts into focus for use in a western setting. I transformed two major parts of my house within the first week and it was life changing. In fact I was able to make some powerful changes the first night. Also I didn't spend a lot of money but rather used things I already owned and loved that were either in storage or in the wrong place. I found myself loving my house for the first time in many years instead of constantly thinking about moving.

Easy and useful:
Even if you don't necessarily believe in the precepts of Feng Shui, Ms. Collins does an excellent job of making you look at your environment with new eyes. With her help you can find things about your house and surroundings that may be bothering you subconciously, be making your environment subtly uncomfortable or even dangerous. If you do wish to know about the form school of Feng Shui, I can't think of a better introduction. This book is very readable and entertaining, while being useful to anyone who cares to try to apply it to their surroundings. Not much more you could ask for.

"Shallow" is the word to describe this book:
This book is hardly a comprehensive Feng Shui book. The authors has many "stories" to tell that fill the book. Each Kwa direction occupies a chapter in the book to a total of eight chapters. However, the author fails to explain how a reader belongs and relate to those directions. The book is niether based on traditional Feng Shui schools such as form or compass schools nor Black Hat Sect's. If you want a "western guide" true Feng Shui, read David Kennedy's or Sarah Rossbach's. If you want true traditional feng Shui, read Lilian Too, Lam Kam Cheun, Angi Wang's book. Don't let the title and rating fool you.

The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Creating Balance, Harmony, a:
I bought this book one month ago and have not put in down. It's easy to read and apply. I'm ordering four more copies today for family and friends. Terah has 2 more books that are equally worthy.

I highly recommend this book:
If you are interested in Feng Shui, this is a good place to start. This was the first book I read on Feng Shui, and I found it very easy to comprehend. Out of the many other books I have read since then, I feel this was one of the best written and easiest to understand. I recommend this book!
