I was attracted to this book for the very reason that so many people seem to dislike it: it's basic, simple, straight-forward. I lived in Asia for 5 years and have accumulated numerous feng shui books - and was completely turned off by the whole attitude that "real" feng shui knowledge and power is only for those who have "earned" it. I don't believe this, and neither does Karen. Her attitude is that the power to change your life is right there, and with some adjustments, you'll tap into it - all on your own, with no "masters" or years of study. While I respect those who can and do study, the fact is that feng shui is an accessible and simple philosophy, and I see nothing wrong with a book promoting that.
Another thing I like about this book is that it troubleshoots many situations, such as what to do if you live in a flat (as opposed to a house, which so many of us do) and what to do if part of your Prosperity, Family, Health and Fame corners fall outside your flat (as mine do, since I live in an "L"-shaped flat). Nowhere else have I seen such practical, real advice.
I walked through my flat with the book in one hand and I noticed that all areas of my life that are going well (Helpful Friends, Creativity, Career, Knowledge, Relationships) already have things that Karen recommends, so I left them alone, as she says. But the areas where I am stuggling (mentioned above) all fall outside my flat, specifically in a dirty, dusty, unheated general storage room across the hall, full of tables and dead flowers (this is my Prosperity corner, so no wonder I'm living from paycheque to paycheque) and in the stairwell outside. I can't do anything about the architecture of my building, but she gave me several ideas how to help the situation and make up for this lack of chi.
