There are several valuable lessons to learn from this book. Some that I gathered that I will apply to my life are that everything is energy (you have a relationship with everything in your life, everything you own), your outside reflects your inside, changes to your surroundings will change who you are on the inside and by extension your life only if your outside reality matches with your inner self, and that there must be a natural flow and balance to every aspect of your life. There are also, however, too many places in this book where some of the tips don't seem to make sense to me. For instance, I don't agree with the recurring technique of placing a mirror in certain places around one's living space to improve a part of someone's life. Also, I I thought that the bagua map brought confusion and to me seemed dubious. These are just a few examples of areas within this book that made reading it a drudgery at times. However, I did enjoy a number of areas within the book.

Carole is also from MN and came to my home to offer some insight into feng shui, an article was written about the visit.

Quite possibly one of my favorite feng shui books of all time, if there is such a thing. She turns it into an interesting intellectual game. Sort of a jungian symbolic reading of your everyday life. I reread it every few years, along with "clear your clutter with feng shui" by Kingston.
