2003, Graham Parkes, “Winds, Waters, and Earth Energies: Fengshui and Awareness of Place”, in Helaine Selin, Arne Kalland, editors, Nature across Cultures: Views of Nature and the Environment in Non-Western Cultures (Science across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Science; 4), Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, →DOI, →ISBN, page 186:[A] large number of people in the United States and Western Europe are paying fengshui "experts" large sums of money to align their expensive coffee tables with their even more expensive sofas, in the hope of bringing more wealth, and perhaps some happiness, into their already affluent households. This seems a gross perversion of the basic spirit of fengshui – which would say that happiness, and certainly some wealth, would come more easily if these people simply sold off all the furniture and other clutter that's obstructing their contact with their natural surroundings.
