Title: Attractive ideas, marginal feng shui content
Review: As a feng shui practitioner-in-training, I take all feng shui manuals and books with a grain of salt. In other words, don't believe everything you read. That's not to say Stasney's book doesn't contain some interesting concepts. If you're looking for some fresh interior design ideas, by all means read and enjoy this book. The photos are attractive, and the book itself is well ordered and thoughtfully written. On the other hand, if you're serious about authentic, traditional feng shui -- meaning real, honest-to-goodness theory and application -- start somewhere else, and pick this book up later as a study to test your knowledge and eye for authenticity. Stasney authorizes liberal use of intuition in your interior design. Which is fine ... but just remember that feng shui is a science, not solely a mere feeling or preference. As with all feng shui books, consider this just book just one of many layers in your living-space analysis.
