Simple ideas presented in a complicated way,
By dampscribbler (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feng Shui Fusion: A Seasonal Guide to Good Energy (Paperback)
"Feng Shui Fusion" is a beautiful book. Throughout, many colors are used. There are amusing illustrations. There are fancy, scrolly fonts and plain, sans-serif fonts. There are useful bits of information set off on their own from the rest of the text, in little boxes or circles. Unfortunately, all of these features make this book very difficult to read.Imagine Brad Pitt walks up to you on the street and tells you to eat more vegetables, then walks away. Are you going to think, "I should eat more vegetables," or are you just going to watch Brad Pitt walk away, and think "omigosh! That Brad Pitt guy with the nice buns and stringy hair just talked to me!" Well, it's kinda like that. I found "Feng Shui Fusion" in the yoga section of my local bookstore. This book integrates Feng Shui principles with yoga, emotional wellbeing, and food. Five chapters discuss the five elements of Feng Shui as they relate to the seasons of the year, and to our own bodies and experiences. The chapters are Winter/Water; Spring/Wood; Summer/Fire; Earth Transience, which somewhat relates to the harvest season of the year, Indian Summer; and Fall/Metal. This integration of Feng Shui with different aspects of life is interesting and potentially very useful. I think more attention should have been given to the actual content of the book, though, and restraint exercised with the design elements of it.

Interesting,

This review is from: Feng Shui Fusion: A Seasonal Guide to Good Energy (Paperback)
There are some complicated things in this books, very true. The illustrations are enjoyable, and some of the material is nice, some of it get's very involved, and seems like you have to know a lot about feng sghui already. It's not in the best order either. But, still some positive messages in this book, and interesting concepts.
