Over the years, a girlfriend and I jokingly gave each other books on Feng Shui as gifts because we love the concept, but laughed at everyone arguing how to pronounce "fung shway". Recently, I decided to pick up these books and incorporate the principles of feng shui in my bedroom redecorating and I found this book to be the easiest one to follow and most useful to grasp the basic concepts. Yes, as other reviews have mentioned, this book does NOT go into detail about specific cures. Its primary focus is on proper furniture placement and does an excellent job of explaining the overall basic concepts of feng shui. A great book to grasp the basics to give an introduction to this fascination concept.

Feng Shui for beginners

This book is another book that I read in an effort to get information about Feng Shui. It goes into details and gives quite a bit of information about the history of Feng Shui. It's a good book for a beginner, someone with limited exposure to Feng Shui, who wants to get an idea of what it is. It also offers some practical ideas on where to start to make your life less cluttered, more serene. The illustrations are well done and easy to understand. Ms. Lagatree obviously researched her subject and knows quite a bit about the subject. She includes all parts of your home, not just focussing on one room/place. She explains the "Ba-Gua basics" in a way that is informative and yet easy to understand. From the beginning, with the history of Feng Shui, to the ending, when she describes garden Feng Shui basics, Ms. Lagatree has done an excellent job of conveying to the reader the ideas behind it. This is a well written book that is meant to inform and be 'user friendly.' Marguerite Nico

A Good Start, But Too Basic

This book contains a great and concise history of Feng Shui, but is written so that it gets kind of confusing as not enough detail is given to remedy situations. For example, I still don't understand this "Pointed Arrow" thing, because wherever I look, I see jutting corners. However, it's an excellent book for beginners like me because of it's broad overview and interesting history.

In the foreward of this book, Feng Shui is defined and described. There are 8 chapters. The photos included are sketches and are black and white. Some Feng Shui books are quite complicated but this book, however, is rather easy to understand. I would have enjoyed this book more if there had been more sketches demonstrating Feng Shui in the rooms of a house. As it is, you stand wondering if your arrangement of furniture is in accordance to Feng Shui.

I have tried many books on feng shui and found them really confusing and even a bit weird. Lagatree's book helped me understand what feng shui is and how it works. I've already had good results by following her clear explanations. I highly recommend this book!
