The idea behind feng shui is simple: to improve any aspect of your life, create the right atmosphere to support it. All the strands of this ancient practice come together in this intelligently organized, visual reference that emphasizes feng shuis practical benefits. Real life applications and examples enhance lucid explanations of the fundamental concepts: chi energy, yin and yang, the five elements, and eight trigrams. All the essential tools are laid out, too--everyday objects like mirrors, plants, and fountains that keep the energy flowing smoothly. A comprehensive directory shows how these principles can enhance relationships, finances, creativity, career, health, and spiritual connections.
I was looking for a book on feng shui and this is definitely IT. It has plenty of information. Easy enough for beginners to understand and gives you key points on what to do to improve energy flow in your home. The best advice though: "Don't fix anything that's not broken." It might not be an in depth encyclopedia, but it's a great starting point.

Wonderful feng shui book

This is an amazingly complete feng shiu book. It is easy to read, makes sense and well illustrated with colour pictures and charts. I really like the open, positive approach. No feng shui doom and gloom here. Simon takes us on a journey through chi, yin and yang, five elements and the trigrams before going onto practical ways to improve the energy of a home. The nine ki section is clear and easy to use with full charts. This book is a lovely introduction to feng shui and gives the subject greater depth and understanding if you have already read a few feng shui books.
At last a book that explains feng shui

I became fed up with the supersticious side of feng shui but reading this restored my faith. Simon Brown dispells the myths and shows how it really works. He does it so well it seems common sense after a while. No wonder he does so much work for big corperations. I tried moving my bed and changed my work position according to this book and it worked. I really do feel better. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a straight forward approach to feng shui.
