This is not feng shui. Make no mistake. In fact, I bought this book because I was eager to learn about the philosophy of Vaastu and how it differs from its Asian cousin. Unfortunately, I found it more disheartening than anything else. Apparently, if your house is not situated favorably according to the principles of Vaastu, you have no alternative but to sell off and move to some place that is. Sure, if you have the money to hire an architect who has Vaastu training, then find the correct plot of land according to a Vaastu sage and pay to have your house built according to Vaastu principles, this is your book. For the rest of us, save your $12. I wish I had!
