This fully illustrated, comprehensive workbook is designed primarily for homeowners, renters, architects, and business owners who want to put feng-shui to practical personal use-to choose a home, build a house, select an office, or find a retail space. Real estate agents, interior designers, and architects will also find it useful as a reference manual. The text and exercises proceed in systematic fashion from basic principles to specific projects, covering the following lessons:

     Evaluating the landscape and external environment by using the techniques of the Landform School
     Using the geomantic compass to chart patterns of energy within a building
     Planning the usage of space
     Matching occupants to a house
     Deciding on the placement of furniture
     Improving the feng-shui of a building with countermeasures, enhancers, and renovations
     Building a new house
     Choosing or designing an apartment, business suite, or retail space
