Amazon.com Review
After reading Terah Kathryn Collins's The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Room by Room, you'll never look at your home the same way again. Under Collins's caring and perceptive tutelage, the home becomes more than just a box to move around in; it grows into an entire ecology of meaning and encouragement. To begin, Collins explains in clear language the principles of Feng Shui and how it can be good or bad. After detailing a number of items used as traditional Feng Shui enhancements, Collins proceeds to walk us through all the rooms of a house, from foyer to attic, to family room, bedroom, and kitchen. She explains the significance of each room, common problems, and, most importantly, effective solutions. In westernizing her Feng Shui, Collins dispenses with some of the more bizarre and ungainly traditional practices, always keying in on the straightforward and pragmatic. By including inner practices as well as outer, Collins offers one of the most profound and enriching Feng Shui books yet.

 Beware of the difference September 14, 2008

This is a fine book IF you knowingly purchase it as a guide to WESTERN feng shui. Western is a modern adaptation of the classic feng shui (which is thousands of years old). Instead of using a compass very carefully to determine where things are to be placed, one is told to simply use the door to a room as the starting point. That means that everything ends up in a different place from where the compass tells you. I was simply not comfortable with the suggestions which are all meant to accomodate a western lifestyle. I prefer the scientific approach.

 Dumb Book March 20, 2007

Sorry, but I think the whole book could have been written in one chapter. Most of the book was saying things like, don't buy a chair until you sit in it, or keep clutter off your desk. Advise that just takes common sense and fills up pages. I was waiting for the author to tell me not to run with a pair of scissors in my hand. I felt talked down to and unless you are very young with your very first apartment or house, you might also find the book insulting.
The only book that wasn't too negative March 19, 2007

Feng Shui is a very negative system. This book wasn't as bad as the others. It was invented from an ancient poem and the reading of dead bones from graves. Someone came up with this system that seems to threaten you every step of the way. Your home, entrance, bed, couches, etc must all be positioned a certain way or else you have bad luck in finances romance and life in general. It's all nonsense and doesn't work. Save your money and remain happy in life. Putting purple paper in your desk will not create money for you.
