Mr. Standifer clearly and concisely explains Feng Shui to the average person.Mr. Standifer lighly touches on the early "Form School" of Feng Shui, but then devotes most of the space in the book to the newer "Compass school" of Feng Shui. The Compass school deals with placement of items according to direction. A MUCH easier form to understand in my opinion.I only noticed one minor error on page 10. "Our chi, our spirit, feels lively, sometimes excited, and deffinately invigorated." Chi is not spirit. Ch'i (Qi) is potential energy that can be converted to shen (spirit) but it is not spirit.If you have questions or comments E-Mail Me. Two Bears.Wah doh Ogedoda

This small red book looks quite modest. But it's one of the few to be so comprehensive and fair in its representation of different methods of feng shui. It also gives very clear and easy to understand information on how to look at your space and put feng shui to immediate use. Jon is able to write simply yet in depth, so you come away with a solid foundation about the subject. Most other books on the market present a very one-sided, superficial view of feng shui. This book is at the other end of the spectrum and I highly recommend it.
