As a Feng Shui designer, I am always checking out the newest books on Feng Shui and Feng Shui That Makes Sense--Easy Ways to Create a Home that FEELS as Good as it Looks by Cathleen McCandless is a terrific book for beginners and and for those tired of the superstitious side to the practice.
I can relate to much of what McCandless is into. Feng Shui, for those of you who are unfamiliar, has been around for 1000's of years...and it was created by the Chinese living a very different lifestyle that how we live today. Couple that with the fact that much of traditional Feng Shui is based on superstitions and you get a practice that--at best--is confusing to the typical American.
McCandless gets that...she does use the Compass (I use the Bagua) but other than that, we are on the same page...I help my clients create rooms that look and feel good...where people want to hang out! No "Feng Shui paraphernalia" necessary...just create good flow which will create a great energy.
This book makes understanding Feng Shui a snap because it is intuitive.
I recommend it along with my other favorite Feng Shui book: HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT: BEAUTIFY, DETOXIFY & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME & YOUR PLANET.

If the title isn't clear enough, let me point out again. This brief 'review' is for the Kindle copy, not the paper copy.
I bought this book for my girlfriend, based on other peoples reviews and the sample we downloaded. Having read some of the book, I can concur that it is well written, makes things very clear and accessible, and would enable anyone to pick up fengshui concepts very quickly.
So why only 3 Stars? Because (and maybe this criticism won't be relevant to you, who knows?) want is not mentioned anywhere on this page is that this Kindle edition is NOT a genuine e-book, but rather a scanned copy of the printed book. What that means is that there is no working table of contents, the book cannot be searched, individual sentences cannot be highlighted and notated, and the page can only be zoomed in one level as opposed to increasing the size of the font to what is appropriate and comfortable for you.
Does any of this affect the actual content of the book? No, of course not. And as I said, what has been written seems so far to be exactly what the author says it is. But I thought I was buying one product (an e-book) when in fact all I got was a series of photos. Thus, the product I received is not what I was expecting (my fault, perhaps, for not checking well enough) and so gets only 3 stars. If Amazon change the description on this page, and include the facts I pointed out above, then I will change my review to reflect that.
But as is, this review stands as a brief warning/notice to Kindle users who may want/need the functionality mentioned above.
