Many are confused about feng shui.With more than 300 mass market books to choose from, it is almost impossible to distinguish between those titles written by true masters and scholars and titles written by those lookingfor an easy buck.Unfortunately, the latter and most prominent group ofbooks are based on superstition and myth.Fortunately, the March 2000issue of the London-based monthly magazine, Feng Shui For Modern Living,has compiled a list of the 'top ten feng shui titles.'They are asfollows:
1. Chinese Whispers by Rosalyn Dexter 2. Feng Shui by ErnestEitel 3. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui by Elizabeth Moran and ValBiktashev 4. Feng Shui by Stephen Skinner 5. The Living Earth Manual ofFeng Shui by Stephen Skinner 6. The Complete Illustrated Guide to Feng Shuiby Lillian Too 7. The Illustrated Encyclopedia by Lillian Too 8. Feng ShuiHandbook: A Practical Guide by Derek Walters 9. Feng Shui: Perfect PlacingFor Your Happiness and Prosperity by Derek Walters 10.Feng Shui by EvaWong
If you want to learn about feng shui, begin your study here.Skinner's books deal mostly with terrestrial or Form School feng shui andare truly worthwhile.Derek Walters is a renowned astrologer.His booksare accurate and thorough.Although I believe Lillian Too is toocommercial and superficial, her books are good for those not wanting tospend the time to understand more sophisticated methods of feng shui.Byfar my most favorite book is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui byMoran and Biktashev.This book has it all: feng shui's origins; fengshui's scientific value; two classical methods of determining your home'sauspiciousness; Chinese zodiac astrology, and the Four Pillars of Destiny(written by the world-respected Master Joseph Yu), a method of determiningyour luck.What's great about this book is that it is a no-nonsense,humorous guide to understanding exactly what feng shui is and isn't and howthis 6,000 year old Chinese art and science can help you increase yourhealth, wealth, and relationship.You won't be disappointed!

Guess I'll make it a unanimous (so far) 5 star rating for Sarah's latest.Like her other stand-alone books, it's filled with pithy humor, undeniable wisdom and gentle guidance--like having a "big sister" to guide you through the journey of self-discovery, sharing equal parts of joy andsorrow, pain and growth. Designed with the idea that each of the 12chapters takes one month, to be completed in one year, I'd say that's aboutright.It isn't a workbook to rifle through, but one to relish, savor,ponder and ultimately digest. Thank you, Sarah, for yet another book tohelp in the excavation process of our Authentic Selves.The sharing ofyour talents has made us ALL the more richer.
