Easy, Concise Manual

This Feng Shui manual is a perfect book for beginners and advanced alike. The format is simple, well illustrated, and easy to read. The author explains Chinese zodiac, the importance of the direction of your property, your qualities and energy and how this relates to your home, as well as using the Five Animals to help you find the most harmonious positions and locations in any room. It also explains the basic principles of picking furniture, etc and how to properly place it in a room. I recommend this manual to any enthusiast.

ba gua 101

I just think Master Lam really stands on two continents. He's bicoastal in the very best sense of the word. After introducing a language to discuss feng shui concepts in his earlier 'Handbook,' here Lam focusses on a few key concepts.Like ba gua. This north house, southwest house stuff is about the funnest part of practicing feng shui. Lam's observations on architecture are always fascinating, and often witty.There are very many schools of feng shui. But whether you live in China or the U.S., the problem of urban life-finding yourself in that space-is the central issue today. The 'Personal Manual' offers a feng shui approach to that problem.Call it wacky; call it wind/water. It's no goofier than Heisenberg. Live a little; enjoy!

My Favorite Feng Shui Book

I probably own half a dozen Feng Shui books, and while others have some good introductory material, this is the book I refer to again and again. It's full of reference material on the five elements, Chinese astrology, and how to apply the Ba Gua to your own house. I thought it was all very accessible and easy to follow.

For the beginner to Feng Shui, lovely artwork, light on text

Like his earlier companion book, a beautifully art filled book. Many pictures but little text in this book marks it for the beginner to Feng Shui. The author is far from a beginner though, clearly he is a Master of his subject. May I suggest Sarah Rossbach's Interior Design With Feng Shui for a standard on the subject, and Eva Wong's Feng Shui, The Ancient Wisdom of Harmonious Living For Modern Times for person seeking their Ph.D. in Feng Shui.
