I bought this book as a compliment to Feng Shui Your Life: Second Edition by Jayme Barret since we are relocating again, to a townhome this time (a hop, skip and a jump to work). Boy is this book a complete anti-thesis, polar opposite or [insert-whatever-you-want-to-use-to-describe-being-the-complete-opposite-phrase-here] of Jayme's book. Where as Feng Shui Your Life: Second Edition engages the practice in an entirely new-age perspective and emphasizing on feng-shui "cures" (i.e. charms, talisman, luck, symbolism, etc.) and the bagua map, i.e. what I came to understand as the "Black Hat Tantric Buddhism" school of feng-shui, or BTB, McCandless engages the art of feng-shui from a more traditional and pragmatic approach: the study of the environment and how it affects people. No bagua maps (although she incorporates the traditional feng-shui compass in interior arrangements in later chapters) or new-age crapola. In fact, McCandless starts out by dispelling feng-shui "cures", associated with BTB feng-shui.I like the fact that this book is extremely easy to read and straight to the point. I enjoy McCandless' pragmatic style and her candidness at dispelling the BS (i.e. new-age crapola, such as hanging crystal spheres [which Jayme heavily emphasizes], mirrors and other attributes) that is associated with modern/Westernized BTB branch of feng-shui. It dives into the history of feng-shui and engages the art of feng-shui from a common sense approach:-- You design your environment so that it makes you feel secure and happy. If you are happy, then it will follow you through every other aspect of your day/life. --Have you ever awaken to an incredible mood that followed you to work or school? So incredible that it rubs off to your colleagues (you'd greet folks when you normally don't and being totally out of character)? So incredible that your body is tingling with euphoria stemming from this great mood? This book strive to induce that feeling through environmental conscientiousness, arrangements and engagements.That is it! No redirecting mystical energy, increasing luck or barraging your living quarters with lame feng-shui marketing trinkets to "energize" the room. There are also short segments in every chapter on dispelling common feng-shui misconception and myths. The author goes into lengthy detail explaining their probable origin and why they are myths and should be regarded as no more than such; take a look at the following examples McCandless dispels:1.) "It is bad to live at the end of a long narrow street or cul-de-sac because the energy will surge into your household like a sharp arrow, negatively impacting your life." Jayme mentioned this in her book with "cures", such as placing a gazing ball near the entrance door to "deflect" the surging negative energy flow and counteract its effects)2.) "It is good luck to paint your front entrance door red" (funny in Jayme's book, there's a picture depicting a bright red wooden door). As I read through these mythbusters, I couldn't help but wonder if the author is taking direct aim at Jayme's book because a large chunk of the "cures" suggested in Feng Shui Your Life: Second Edition are dispelled by McCandless.3.) "If your wealth/prosperity energy center is a bathroom, you could be flushing or draining your wealth away!" Jayme's cure solution to: add a water fountain running 24/7, hang a crystal ball, add a night light and leave it on 24/7 or my personal favorite, add plants - they can be artificial or real! How can an artificial man-made plant energize ANYTHING? If anything, it can add appeal to the visual sensors if arranged correctly, but energize? Come'on now, you trying to sell me snake oil? McCandless said that the bathroom is just like any room. As long as it is kept clean and tidy, it will be welcoming - and that's all that matter. If you feel welcomed, you will be affected positively in your subconscience. McCandless kicks it up a notch and finishes this mythbuster segment with: the only way to "drain your wealth away" is to literally empty your wallet into the toilet bowl and flush it down the drain, lol.Don't get me wrong, Feng Shui Your Life: Second Edition is a great book on reducing clutter and for ideas on how to decorate different areas of your home that creates the feeling of camaraderie or catharsis, which is feng-shui in itself. It is also filled with colorful photos cover to cover, a stark contrast to McCandless' book which is entirely black and white with crappy illustrations laden with JPEG artifacts. Jayme's approach to feng-shui is different and her new-age perspective isn't really for me. You can read my review on it for more details.
There are at least a dozen books about feng shui on my bookcase. Each expert has their own opinions and to be honest I was ready to give up because the "must dos" were different and contradicted each other. Then I found Cathleen McCandless' book and wow what a difference! The explanations of why the remedies of the past were used and how they may not be applicable to modern western living were such a help. Her common sense approach is balanced by the obvious respect that she has for the practice and history of feng shui. It's well written and easy to follow. There are some immediate - inexpensive suggestions that can help you get started making positive changes right away. If you were like me, interested but confused, I would highly recommend giving Feng Shui That Makes Sense a chance.
This book is a must read for anyone remotely interested in feng shui. I've done years of informal research into feng shui because its practicality fascinates me. This is by far my favorite book on the subject. There is a lot of misinformation out there that converts well-meaning people into superstitious and paranoid interior decorators (including me at some points, unfortunately). The effect is counterintuitive to what feng shui is all about, which is living in an environment that optimizes your health. This book addresses all the myths that I've come across and re-grounds you in the common sense and natural science that the practice is based on. It also puts feng shui practices into historical context, bringing it to life in important ways. Lastly the author gives really interesting, incredible (and sometimes comical) examples from her experience as a consultant. In addition to helping me nurture my home with more confidence, I can now better explain some of my interior decorating decisions to my husband in a way that appeals to his reason. Two thumbs up!
So this may be a long review so I apologize because I don't often feel so moved to review a book as I do this one. Over the years my husband and I have lived in many rentals across the country due to frequent moving and a horrible home buying experience in our 20's. Well faced with yet another move and my desire to no longer live in condos, apartments or townhouses (shared walls and bad neighbors are to common for us) we decided to try purchasing again.I have read many books in the past on Feng Shui and Vaatsu in desperate attempts to create balance when our options were limited and have to say I gave up on it a decade ago. Home buying terrifies me after our one and only home purchase turned into a 15 year nightmare of which we only lived in the house 3 years of so I decided to once again look at ways to try and make sure we purchased a comfortable home.This book was completely different. She doesn't focus on placing fountains and knick knacks all over the place to bring good luck which I appreciated immediately because I cannot stand to much clutter. Her approach is about flow and comfort. There is no hanging crystals because the front door faces the wrong direction or crazy math formulas to find out my bedroom needs to be in the south west corner because lets face it when buying a home not everything can be in the perfect location and direction for my personal horoscope (yes I have read books like that).She explains very clearly about balancing yin and yang in a way that is not only easy to understand but easy to achieve. She dispels a lot of superstitions and myths and gives more rational explanations as to why you should avoid something's and how to change things in inexpensive ways. I wish she had more books on the market than just this one because I would read them all.
