How can I teach myself feng shui? Any books worth recommending?

I've always been fascinating with the idea that space planning can help optimize positive energy within an environment. I really know nothing about feng shui but I would love to learn more. Are there any good books that don't go too philosophical, but still provide to essence of feng shui for beginners?

"Move your stuff, change your life" by Karen Rauch Carter is a good introduction to feng shui. (It's the only title I can remember of the 30+ books I read about feng shui several years ago, if that says anything.)

Clearing Your Clutter with Fang Shui

There are different schools of feng shui. The book I used to teach myself about the Western school is The Western Guide to Feng Shui.

But I also really like Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui. And Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life was another one that was good enough to earn a place on my bookshelf.
