Feng Shui For Modern Living Magazine, September 1999
This guide is certainly not aimed at idiots. Recent years have seen a surge of 'how to' books on feng shui, but this American Masterpiece tops the lot - it peels away the layers of superstition and myth permeating the modern practice. This is a book to dip in and out of rather than sit down for a chronological read. Be prepared to be distracted by the many topics covered. On the other hand, for anyone who wants to read well presented material presented in a logical order, this book is hard to beat. Expertise Rating.

A step-by-step guide to understanding and practicing the ancient art and science of feng shui.

From the Authors
Dear Feng Shui Enthusiast: The recent years have seen a surge of books on feng shui. Why is this? Why are we only now embracing this ancient Chinese art and science? It is because it's the newest and coolest thing to do? Is it because we're coming to realize the benefit of alternative methods of therapy? Are we looking for a leg up on our competitors? Or are we willing to try just about anything to create a harmonious haven? Regardless of the reason, we're delighted you're investigating a tradition revered throughout Asia.

Coaxed by our clients and friends, supported by fellow masters and scholars, we have put together a user-friendly guide explaining feng shui. Peeling away layers of superstition and myth permeating the modern practice, we've exposed the classic teachings based on humanity's inseparable link with nature. You see, long before the theory of quantum physics was postulated, the ancient Chinese believed everyone and everything is but one big dance of interconnected energy. They called this energy qi. Simply put, feng shui is the study of how qi affects our health, wealth, and relationships. Knowing how to harness positive qi and remedy negative qi is the essence of feng shui.

Here, you'll learn the origins of feng shui and its fundamental principles. We'll share with you two classical methods of analyzing and determining the auspiciousness of your home and its surroundings, as well as how to choose a home. Also, we'll explore a method of Chinese astrology called The Four Pillars of Destiny. Based on the qi you inhaled at birth, you'll learn how to determine the colors, environment, and career best suited to you. And you'll find out which years, months, and days are lucky for you, and which are not. The chapters on The Four Pillars were assembled by Master Joseph Yu, a renowned authority.

Great Reference and Informative Read
I very much enjoyed this book and I reference it all the time. I think its a great start for a beginner who is interested in traditional feng shui. Fun fun.

More to Feng Shui than I thought
Wow! This book really taught me a lot. I had NO clue about "real" feng shui. It's very complicated, and I still don't understand it, but I think this is an excellent book.
