This one lets you turn just one room or your whole house into a "chi friendly" environment. I really like this book for its ease of understanding and ease of reading.
The author makes Feng Shui rather simple for those who want to try it. I have used some principles and I think it really makes a difference in the home.

I literally read it and tossed it in the trash in 5 minutes. This is the first Feng Shui book I had read that was simple, understandable, and universal.
The advantage of this system is that you don't need a compass because its principles focus on the existing position of doors--and it applies in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The entire text of the book is written in a conversational question and answer format, making the information easy to understand and apply.
It engaged my interest immediately, and was hard to put down! There's so much information packed into this handy, page guide. What is Feng Shui? The simplest definition is that Feng Shui aims to increase harmony in your environment. The most common pronunciation is "Fung Shway": Feng means "wind" and Shui means "water". Part of achieving harmony is assuring the balanced flow of chi also known as qi or ki. Chi is best translated as life energy or invisible life force. Feng Shui maintains that problems arise when this life energy moves too fast, slows to a trickle, or blocks entirely.
Feng Shui originated sometime between the second and fourth century B. In fact, the first compass was invented in China not for navigation, but for the purpose of Feng Shui. The Chinese take their Feng Shui so seriously that during British rule in Hong Kong, millions of dollars were paid in compensation to people who claimed their Feng Shui was damaged by government buildings or roads!
In the section Feng Shui Room By Room, you will discover simple yet effective measures you can take in each room of your home to improve energy flow, and encourage health, wealth, and happiness.

What's interesting is that Feng Shui seems very commonsensical and intuitive. How often have you entered a building and thought "Eww. Or you felt claustrophobic in a cluttered room? That pretty much discouraged me but after I got home I started researching and found one resource that seemed legitimate.
I did as much research as possible and found him to be highly reputable. After reading his website, hundreds of his articles, watching some of his videos I applied some of his techniques and was AMAZED and the results. Then I compared my 'favorable and unfavorable' directions with the places I have lived using Google Earth to pinpoint the direction of my bed placement and found the One time in my life I was the healthiest was the ONLY time my bed had ever been in one of my favorable positions.
That along with many other things has made me a believer in something that I didn't hold much weigh to before. Needless to say I have since been slowly learning more and more about Classical Feng Shui, Bazi Destiny Charts, and Mian Xiang face reading and continue to be impressed with it's accuracy. The most disheartening thing about 'Western' Feng Shui concepts is that most of the authors feel they what they are doing is good and helpful and for the most part the power of positive intention allows them to have some results. Since many of them use a Universal Bagua for everyone and give everyone the same positions for everything.
In closing I would like to suggest that you skip all the hype and the books suggesting that they have an 'easier way'. If you Truly want to experience what Feng Shui can offer don't mess with techniques that can sometimes do more harm than good.

For my full review, click below: Mar 26, Alexandra Chauran rated it it was ok. This was a Western style Feng Shui book written by an Australian. As such, it was distorted and simplified quite significantly. Her "Dragon Door" style of Feng Shui had some nuggets of classical Feng Shui, but largely felt uncomfortably like a white-washing of Asian culture.
That said, I did try one of the cures and it worked, because placebo power works wonders on the likes of me. Aug 11, Kelly rated it really liked it.
