Energy is all around us, and Good Fengshui is an introductory look at the bagua map and how features and elements in a home could challenge the positive flow of energy. While the basics of Fengshui are discussed at the end of the book, you feel like you're just getting started - you'll want to know more. As an introductory text, this may work, but the text is more about what to look for in the physical makeup of a home. There is some remediation for ways to change the energy, but the meat of the book is in the physical arrangement of space.
Some good gems in here. If you're familiar with, or very experienced in, feng shui, you'll note lots of this material as fine introductory wisdom. If you have a friend or relative who wants a first dip into feng shui, this is the book for them by far.
i enjoy reading about Feng Shui but this book just doesnt do it for me. It's dry and doesn't really present the reader with everyday useful things. I also didnt like the authors take on don't live near cactus because of the sharp spines. Really? what about the people that live in deserts? Also, the authors take on rod placement as to whether it is beneficial or not. I practiced Feng Shui for a number of years so I am farmiliar with it and this book is just too cut and dry.
I am a complete newbie to the concept of Fengshui, so for readers like myself, this book may be helpful. However, anyone with any familiarity to the concept of this book may find it repetitive or lacking in depth. The author does note that they have written a more in-depth, technical manual for the determination of the fengshui in your spaces, and that may be the place to start, should you already have any knowledge of the topic.
The short chapters make it easy to speed through, and has given me a base understanding of fengshui. This was a great starter guide on how to use my intuition to make a space that is more welcoming, efficient, and comfortable.
