Feng Shui Made Easy: Designing Your Life with the Ancient Art of Placement Paperback - 2010

Excerpt

From the Introduction:

Feng Shui Made Easy was created after a lifetime of solving puzzles. Making the most complicated things more accessible and easily understood was ingrained in me; transforming philosophies and concepts into practical methods had been fascinating to me since childhood. This book will be like a feng shui consultant coming into your own home. But Feng Shui Made Easy tells you more than just how to rearrange your furniture, it tells your how to change your life—and that is what feng shui is really all about. This is a remarkable system for self-development and a practical took for improving business and relationships. All you need to do is practice—the energy flows by itself.

“My family and I have benefited greatly from our relationship with William Spear over many years. Shortly after my first feng shui consultation with him, I won my first Grammy! In this book, he shares the same great resources for all creative spirits who love the earth.”

“William Spear has put together a book that is user-friendly, while still respecting the deeper aspects and implications of a profound science.… Feng Shui Made Easy gives not just practical suggestions for analyzing and altering your environment, but teaches intuitive feng shui, so that you can learn to trust your feelings about your surroundings.”

“For the past twenty years, William Spear has been my “go to” person for all properties that needed fixing before they could sell. He’s a sensitive genius who knows how to right wrongs and produce a wonderfully inviting, very saleable home. His book has been invaluable and something that I frequently have gifted to my clients. After having used William to consult successfully on my clients’ hard to sell properties, I’ve gotten into the habit of never buying or renovating a home of my own without his advice—even when I had to fly him across the country to do so!
William is not only a great Feng Shui Master, he is a wonderful teacher, and his book brings home the principles of this ancient art to those who are unable to consult with him personally. His book enables the consumer to understand and rectify many issues themselves.”
—Patricia Warburg Cliff, Senior Vice President and Director of International Sales, the Corcoran Group real estate company

“In his book, [William Spear] takes the view that the art of placement is governed both by external laws but also can be generated from a clean, inner condition of the body. When we eat whole, unprocessed foods, we tend to make better decisions… guided by our intuition… [Spear’s] take on Feng Shui made perfect, and refreshingly satisfying sense.”
—Jessica Porter’s Hip Chick’s Blog
