This book is basically the same idea of her hard cover book " The illustrated Encyclopedia of Feng Shui", but is written shortly and briefly. It is easy to read and understand, but may be too brief for some of the beginner and not deep enough for advanced reader. Especially when talking about Flying Star, there is no specific explanation about how to draw a chart of Lo Shu for each year.
I own this book and find it very helpful. You need a basic understanding of the concept of feng shui, time,a good compass and an open mind as well as graph paper. I also own other feng shui books but they do not go into the explanation of the origins or talk about why certain directions are inharmonious. This book does both. She makes a distinct difference between space clearing and space cleaning which is important and not well addressed in other books of this nature that I have read. I found the parts on The Grand Jupiter and The Flying Star extremely interesting and am doing more research on those. I would recommend this book for an amateur to novice level reader. The first evening I read it, I did 3 simple things and within 24 hours had a welcome end to a long dispute, good financial news and my "tweenager"s attitude toward studying did a quick turn around. Interesting reading and well written. I would reccommend this book for someone who is looking to study feng shui not just a quick fix. Although it is amazing what simple changes can help to manifest!
I had this book before and lost it during a move. It's one of the best Feng Shui books in my opinion, though it can get tricky with all the formula for houses and personal numbers (then again, I'm pretty much a math ninny). The back of the book that has a pretty broad glossary of terms and 'cures' is particularly nice and easy to use.
Hard to follow advice. I found The Idiots Guide to Feng Shui to be more useful. Sorry I couldn't be more positive. I received this book as a gift and will use it as a reference, but I can't recommend it to anyone as a guide.
This book is formatted a little different than her other books. It's more formatted like a reference guide book divided into sections regarding certain forms of feng shui. At the end is glossary of feng shui symbols, concepts, and even a little history. This book does have a few typos in it, but does have nuggets of information which are valuable, imo (especially for kitchen placement).This book is really not for the beginner as the descriptions are terse and there are instructions missing on how to interpret or even calculate things. It's not too in-depth either though, in general even though there is some good information in here. Recommended for the intermediate feng shui knowledge seeker. There are better books out there and would put on my priority list. Her flying star feng shui book is an excellent book, imo, if you are seeking a good book in some in-depth knowledge.
This book is as general and as easy feng shui can get!!!! It has all the basics and is very easy to follow! The back of the book has a glossary of all the good luck symbols & things you can use for different remedies. The beginning of the book is general basics' then it goes on to the different directions (north, ne, nw, south' se...) some work and love feng shui etc.I can't see why someone would think this book is hard to follow!
I always buy feng shui books and so far this is my favorite. It's very informative and it gives you a lot of ideas. This is the only book I read twice. Lilian too is a great author. I can't to read her other books.
So excited to find this book, and for such a great price. I looked everywhere first. Thank you Lillian Too for such a wonderful service sharing this art form and/or skill.
