Fabulous, Fun, and Practical Guide to Using Feng
Shui1
The Keep it Simple Series distinguishes
itself from other series like the Idiot and Dummie
Guides by its extensive use of color and photographs.
However, the superior content far outweighs the
appealing cosmetics of the book's layout and design. In
a nutsell, Stephen Skinner knows what he's talking
about. In fact, he's a world renowned expert in the
field as well as the author of one of my favorite feng
shui books, The Living Earth Manual of Feng Shui. In his
KISS book, Stephen provides an excellent overview of
what feng shui is and how it can help you maximize your
health, wealth, and relationships. It's well-organized
and easy to read. Impliment his practical advice and
you'll witness first hand feng shui's power. A thousand
kow tows Stephen for elevating this Chinese practice!
Nice work.

Harmony and Happiness
According to this book,
my desk is in the wrong place. Although I have no
choice, I've noticed I'm more edgy with the door behind
me and when someone enters my office, I feel that if I
was sitting with my back towards the wall, I would feel
more comfortable and in control of my environment. My
only problem is having to look at the computer wires,
which would annoy me more.
So, I think there is something to be said for
furniture placement, when practical.
Being of the thought process that there is something
to be learned from everything, you can try to take what
you need from this book to help encourage an environment
you will feel comfortable in.
The Chapters Include:
What is Feng Shui? - Wind Water, a connection to
natural elements. "Flow"
is also an important
element. It is not a religion or magic.

Some of the ideas I incorporated into my own home
without even knowing they were Feng Shui concepts was
the use of mirrors. It does definitely create a feeling
of energy in a room that would otherwise feel closed in.
If you are very, very serious about Feng Shui or
extremely curious, this book has more than you will ever
want to know.

My thoughts
I found the book to be a little
bit boring. I wanted to know how to change my home to
fit into the Feng Shui philosophy and it gave me more of
a background of Feng Shui. That is great, I am glad I
know all of that now, but I didn't find any practical
ways to change my home.
