Clear and Concise

Feng Shui for Dummies is a wonderful book that covers Western, or Black Sect Feng Shui as opposed to compass Feng Shui. There are many differences between the two schools, but I feel that the Western is more accessible and makes more sense for people living in the Western hemisphere in the 21st Century. David Daniel Kennedy has a knack for making the complex subject easy to understand. A nice companion book to this one was also written by Kennedy and is called FENG SHUI TIPS FOR A BETTER LIFE. I recommend you read the Dummy book first to gain a firm understanding of Feng Shui and then use Tips as a quick reference for cures. I also recommend HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT: BEAUTIFY, DETOXIFY & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME & YOUR PLANET to further your understanding of Feng Shui for TODAY'S lifestyle--plus pick up eco-friendly and design tips. Highly recommend!

A great "compass-free" Feng Shui book!

This is an excellent Feng Shui book, particularly for beginners. If you've been browsing the many feng shui books available, you'll quickly notice that there are MANY schools of thought. Some more complicated than others. The beauty of this book is that it combines the schools into a user-friendly guide to Shui your home and surroundings. It does so in a way that is organized, and just "feels right", in other words, it's not taking bits and pieces and throwing it all together to make a book. It's a great start to understanding this ancient art, then you could supplement with other books for more hints, and apply those tips to this "for dummies" way. The best thing is that you won't need a compass or birthdates to shui your home. I found this to be a problem with other books in which people's birthdays are taken into account, I often found my husband's and my own "best directions" (as in the compass school of thought) were conflicting, so it was difficult to put remedies into effect. Throw out that compass and get your hands on this book instead!

A must read for anyone interested in Feng Shui

David Kennedy has written an exceptional book on Feng Shui and it is a must read for anyone interested in improving their life. It is clear and easy to understand and full of incredable and helpful information on transforming your life through this ancient art of Feng Shui. I have performed many of the cures recommended in this book and my life has changed dramatically. My relationship with my husband is more loving than it has been in years. My husband's career is taking off as a result of cures done in his office and I feel much more in control of my life. All this has happened in a short period of time.I recommend this book to anyone seriously looking for positive changes in their life.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

This book makes Feng Shui much easier than any other book that I have tried to read. If you've been looking for a book that will guide you step by step, this is it. It has so much information pack in it, I haven't been able to put it down! I highly recommend it to everyone, so much so that I have purchased several copies as gifts for friends and colleagues.

FENG SHUI FOR DUMMIES

What a concise, easily understood book describing the Black Sect Tantric Buddhist School of Feng Shui. Reading it enables me to implement Feng Shui principles immediately in my environment. The organization of the book allows for quick access to areas of my life that need changes. Cures are clearly described for the desired outcome. It was a small price to pay for such a wealth of information.
